Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper and grease the sides.
In a bowl, mix crushed Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal, sugar, and melted butter. Press into the bottom of the pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and beat until combined.
Mix in sour cream, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Beat until smooth.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing just until incorporated. Do not overmix.
Pour in heavy cream and mix until smooth. Pour the batter over the cooled crust.
Place the pan in a water bath and bake for 55-65 minutes until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour. Then remove and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Top with whipped cream and additional Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal before serving.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter.
Do not skip the water bath to prevent cracking.
Add cereal topping just before serving to maintain crunch.
