Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup sour cream
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Trust me, this step is non-negotiable!
- Grease a springform pan.
- Cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and mix until combined.
- Incorporate the flour, cinnamon, and salt until a soft dough forms. Press this dough into the bottom of your greased springform pan.
- Mix the cream cheese with granulated sugar until smooth. Scrape down the sides to avoid any chunky surprises.
- Beat in the sour cream, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla and flour until blended.
- Pour the cheesecake mixture over your churro crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake in your preheated oven for 45-50 minutes.
- Turn the oven off, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool slowly.
- Mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle this mix on top of the cooled cheesecake.
- Cover and refrigerate your churro cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
Notes
If you find your cheesecake has some lumps, a good mix should smooth it out, but those lumps add character!
