Strawberry Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake with Macadamia Nut Topping
Cinnamon Roll Crust:
- 1 roll refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
Strawberry Cheesecake Filling:
- 32 oz Norman's Kosher Cholov Yisroel Cream Cheese, softened
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup strawberry preserves
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Macadamia Nut Topping:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray.
- Unroll the cinnamon rolls and flatten them out using your fingers or a rolling pin. Press the cinnamon roll dough into the bottom of the prepared springform pan, making sure to evenly cover the bottom and slightly up the sides of the pan.
- Brush the melted butter over the cinnamon roll crust and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add in the sugar and beat until well combined. Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the strawberry preserves and vanilla extract.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the cinnamon roll crust.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and macadamia nuts. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle the macadamia nut topping evenly over the cheesecake filling.
- Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set and the top is golden brown.
- Let the cheesecake cool completely before removing it from the springform pan and serving.
