Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake

I am a Christ loving Grandma who has been following a low carb lifestyle for many years. I am a type II diabetic and a major foodie, which sometimes can be polar opposites! I collect many recipes that are not low carb, so that I can take a stab at recreating the recipe suitable for my dietary needs. I also make sweets for alot of my family members & friends. So I have lots of recipes from all kinds of different dietary profiles in order to influence and supplement my "foodie" tendencies.

Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake is the ultimate dessert fusion, combining the rich, creamy texture of cheesecake with the sweet, spiced warmth of cinnamon rolls. Each bite offers a perfect balance of smooth cream cheese, a caramelized cinnamon swirl, and a buttery graham cracker crust, making it an indulgent treat that’s sure to impress at any gathering.
