Let’s Make It!

Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, and heavy whipping cream with a hand mixer for 1–2 minutes until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to remove any lumps.
Add the Remaining Ingredients: Mix in the sour cream, flour, and vanilla extract until combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure the batter is smooth and evenly mixed.
Add the Eggs: Lightly break up the egg yolks, then add the eggs to the cheesecake batter. Mix on low speed until just incorporated, being careful not to overmix.
Prepare the Cinnamon Filling: In a resealable bag, combine the Cinn-O Crunch reserved for the filling, brown sugar, cocoa powder, and ground cinnamon. Seal the bag and shake until evenly combined. Set aside for layering.
Prepare the Cinnamon Roll Crust: Lightly coat the inside of a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray. Arrange the prepared cinnamon rolls in a single layer across the bottom, fitting them closely together to form the crust.
Layer the Cheesecake: Pour half of the cheesecake batter over the cinnamon roll crust and spread evenly. Sprinkle the cinnamon filling mixture across the batter, then gently pour the remaining cheesecake batter over the top. Smooth the surface and lightly tap the pan on the counter to release trapped air bubbles.
Bake the Cheesecake: Bake at 225°F until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle. For about 50 to75 minutes.
Cool and Chill: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool before refrigerating for 24 hours to fully set. Once chilled, carefully remove the springform ring and transfer the cheesecake to a serving plate.
Make the Bacon Cream Cheese Frosting: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and mix until light and fluffy. Fold in the cooked bacon crumbles until evenly distributed.
Decorate the Cheesecake: Spread a layer of bacon cream cheese frosting over the chilled cheesecake. Transfer the remaining frosting to a piping bag fitted with a decorative tip and pipe swirls around the edges. Finish with the reserved Dan-O’s Delights Cinn-O Crunch.
