Equipment

  • Springform pan
  • Mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

For the Crust

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs fine ground
  • 2 cups cinnamon toast crunch cereal crumbs fine ground
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 4-5 cups boiling water for the water bath used when baking the cheesecake

For the Cheesecake

  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup cinnamon toast crunch cereal
  • 32 ounces full-fat cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • 1½ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 6 large eggs room temperature

For the White Chocolate Ganache

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips Ghirardelli brand
  • ¼ cup heavy cream

For the Garnish

  • 6 ounces whipped topping thawed
  • 1 cup cinnamon toast crunch cereal lightly crushed into smaller pieces

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Prepare the springform pan by greasing it.
  • In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, cinnamon toast crunch crumbs, and melted butter. Press this mixture into the bottom of the springform pan.
  • In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the sugar and vanilla extract.
  • Add the heavy cream and beat until well combined. Then, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • Fold in the cinnamon toast crunch cereal. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the crust in the springform pan.
  • Place the pan in a larger baking dish and fill it with boiling water to create a water bath. Bake for about 60 minutes or until the center is set.
  • Let the cheesecake cool in the pan, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
  • For the ganache, heat the heavy cream and pour it over the white chocolate chips. Stir until smooth.
  • Once the cheesecake is chilled, top with whipped topping and drizzle with ganache. Garnish with crushed cinnamon toast crunch cereal.

Notes

Chill the cheesecake overnight for best results. You can also add more cinnamon toast crunch for extra crunch on top.
