# Steps to Prepare:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 163°C. Grease a 23-cm springform pan and set aside.
02 -
Combine crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl. Press the mixture firmly into the base of the prepared pan. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
03 -
Stir together brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter in a small bowl to form a thick paste.
04 -
Beat softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Blend in sour cream and vanilla extract. Add eggs individually, mixing gently just until incorporated.
05 -
Pour half of the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust. Drop spoonfuls of half the cinnamon swirl on the batter and gently swirl with a knife. Repeat with remaining cheesecake batter and cinnamon mixture, swirling again.
06 -
Set the springform pan on a baking sheet. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes until the centre is slightly jiggly but nearly set. Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour.
07 -
Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth in a small bowl.
08 -
Cool cheesecake to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Before serving, drizzle with glaze.
# Extra Cooking Tips:

For neater slices, dip a knife in warm water and wipe clean between each cut. The dessert can be prepared up to three days in advance and kept covered in the refrigerator. For a decorative touch, dust with additional cinnamon before serving.
