For the Cheesecake Filling:
– 4 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
– 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 4 large eggs
– 2 tbsp sour cream
– 1 tsp ground cinnamon (for the filling)

For Topping:
– ¼ cup granulated sugar
– 1 tsp ground cinnamon
– Whipped cream (optional, for serving)
– Churro pieces (for garnish, optional)


Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your amazing Simple Churro Cheesecake for Parties:

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
2. Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter. Mix well until the mixture is evenly moistened.
3. Create the Crust Layer: Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan evenly. Use the back of a measuring cup to compact it tightly.
4. Bake the Crust: Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove and allow it to cool slightly.
5. Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
6. Add Sugar and Vanilla: Gradually add granulated sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
7. Incorporate Eggs: Add eggs one at a time, beating on low speed after each addition until just combined. Do not overbeat.
8. Add Sour Cream and Cinnamon: Mix in the sour cream and ground cinnamon until fully incorporated and smooth.
9. Layer the Cheesecake: Pour half of the cheesecake mixture over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly.
10. Add Cinnamon Layer: Sprinkle cinnamon powder evenly over the cheesecake filling.
11. Pour Remaining Mixture: Add the remaining cheesecake filling over the cinnamon layer, smoothing the top for an even finish.
12. Bake: Bake in the oven for 60-70 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle.
13. Cool Gradually: Turn off the oven and crack the door open. Allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven for 1 hour.
14. Refrigerate: Remove from the oven and allow it to cool at room temperature for at least 1 hour. Refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours, preferably overnight.
15. Prepare Topping: When ready to serve, combine granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle this mixture over the top of the chilled cheesecake.
16. Garnish and Serve: Optionally, add whipped cream and churro pieces for garnish before cutting into slices.
