Ingredients:

For the Cinnamon Crust:

• 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For the Cheesecake Filling:

• 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Cinnamon Swirl:

• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

For the Cream Cheese Glaze:

• 4 oz (113g) cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish and set aside.
2. Make the Cinnamon Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and ground cinnamon. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
3. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a blender, combine the softened cream cheese, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the blender as needed.
4. Make the Cinnamon Swirl: In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the swirl.
5. Assemble the Bars: Pour the cheesecake filling over the cinnamon crust in the baking dish. Sprinkle the cinnamon swirl mixture evenly over the top of the cheesecake filling. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the cinnamon mixture into the cheesecake filling.
6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
7. Cool and Glaze: Allow the bars to cool completely in the baking dish on a wire rack. While the bars are cooling, prepare the cream cheese glaze. In a small bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bars.
8. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the bars for at least 2 hours before slicing into squares and serving. Enjoy these delightful blender cinnamon roll cheesecake bars as a decadent treat any time of day!
