Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs (fine ground)
  • 2 cups Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal crumbs (fine ground)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal
  • 32 ounces (4 x 8-ounce blocks) full-fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1½ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips (Ghirardelli brand recommended)
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 6 ounces whipped topping, thawed
  • 1 cup Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal, lightly crushed

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Mix graham cracker crumbs, cereal crumbs, and melted butter until combined. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove and cool.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: Pulse 1 cup of Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal in a food processor until finely ground. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar, then vanilla extract, and beat until combined. Add eggs one at a time, mixing after each. Fold in heavy cream and ground cereal crumbs.
  3. Assemble and Bake: Pour filling over the crust in the springform pan. Place the pan in a large roasting pan and add boiling water to the roasting pan to come halfway up the sides of the springform pan (water bath). Bake at 325°F (163°C) for 1 hour 10 minutes or until the edges are set but the center slightly jiggles. Turn off oven, leave cheesecake inside with door slightly open for 1 hour. Remove and cool completely, then refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
  4. Prepare the Ganache: Heat heavy cream in a small saucepan until just simmering. Pour over white chocolate chips and let sit for 2 minutes. Stir until smooth. Pour ganache over chilled cheesecake and spread evenly. Refrigerate to set ganache.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Top cheesecake with whipped topping and crushed Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal just before serving.
