Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). In a medium bowl, mix together 2 cups of graham cracker crumbs and ¾ cup of melted butter until fully combined. Firmly press this mixture into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan to create an even layer. Chill the crust in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes while you prepare the filling.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat 16 ounces of softened cream cheese using an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Gradually add in 1 cup of granulated sugar, mixing until fully incorporated. Then, add 3 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, followed by 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

  4. Carefully pour half of the cream cheese filling over the chilled crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle half of the prepared cinnamon swirl mixture over the filling. Pour the remaining cream cheese mixture on top, followed by the rest of the cinnamon mixture. Use a knife to gently swirl through the layers for a marbled effect.
