Ingredients
Scale
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
16 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 cup sugar (for topping)
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9 inch baking pan.
In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter until combined.
Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth, then add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Pour the cheesecake mixture over the crust in the baking pan.
In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup sugar and 1/2 tsp cinnamon for the topping, then sprinkle it over the cheesecake layer.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the center is set and the edges are lightly golden.
Allow to cool, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing into bars.
Notes
For a more intense cinnamon flavor, increase the amount of cinnamon in the topping.
These bars can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
