1️⃣ Prep & Preheat
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment.
2️⃣ Make the Crust
Separate cinnamon rolls, set aside icing.
Press 4 rolls into the pan (tear pieces to fill gaps).
Mix melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon, then drizzle over dough.
3️⃣ Cheesecake Layer
Beat cream cheese + sugar until smooth.
Add eggs + vanilla, mixing just until combined.
Pour over cinnamon layer.
4️⃣ Add Swirls
Flatten remaining 1 cinnamon roll, tear into pieces, and press lightly into cheesecake.
Swirl gently with a knife.
5️⃣ Bake to Perfection
Bake 30-35 mins until edges are set but center jiggles slightly.
Cool 1 hour, then refrigerate 4+ hours (overnight best).
6️⃣ Glaze & Serve
Drizzle with reserved icing + milk. Cut into squares!
