- 1/2 cup (70g) powdered sugar
- 1 to 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crust ingredients until well combined. Pack the mixture into the bottom and about halfway up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan.

- In a small bowl, mix together all the ingredients for the cinnamon swirl and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix and mash together all the ingredients for the streusel topping until crumbly, then set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine cream cheese and sugar, beating until smooth. Add sour cream, flour, salt, and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Be careful not to over mix.
- Pour half of the cheesecake filling over the crust and sprinkle the cinnamon swirl over top. Dollop remaining filling on top and gently spread it out.
- Run a skewer through the batter to swirl it together. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the top.
- Fill a large pan with 2 cups of boiling water and place it on the bottom rack of the oven. Place the cheesecake on the center rack above the pan.
- Bake for 70 minutes, then remove the water pan from the oven and continue baking for another 20-30 minutes until the top is puffed and the edges are set.
- Leave the cheesecake in the oven to cool for 2 hours with the door slightly ajar.
- Cool to room temperature, then chill for at least 4 hours or until fully set.
- Whisk together powdered sugar and milk for icing. Adjust milk until desired consistency is reached.
- Remove cheesecake from pan and drizzle icing before serving.
