  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
  • Yield: 10-12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

For the churro crust:

  • 2 cups crushed cinnamon graham crackers
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup melted butter

For the cheesecake filling:

  • 3 (8 oz) packages of cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

For the churro topping:

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and set aside.
  2. In a bowl, combine the crushed cinnamon graham crackers, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and melted butter for the churro crust. Mix until well combined.
  3. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared springform pan, spreading it evenly. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then remove and set aside to cool.
  4. While the crust is cooling, prepare the cheesecake filling. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 1 cup granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
  5. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and sour cream until fully incorporated.
  6. Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled churro crust in the springform pan, spreading it evenly.
  7. In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon for the churro topping.
  8. Drizzle the melted butter over the cheesecake filling, then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly on top.
  9. Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are lightly golden brown.
  10. Once baked, remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature. Then, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
  11. Before serving, you can optionally dust the top of the cheesecake with powdered sugar for extra sweetness and a decorative touch.
  12. Slice and enjoy your homemade Churro Cheesecake!

Notes

  1. Ensure that the cream cheese is softened before using it in the cheesecake filling to achieve a smooth and creamy texture.
  2. When pressing the churro crust into the springform pan, make sure it’s evenly distributed to create a sturdy base for the cheesecake.
  3. Don’t overmix the cheesecake filling once the eggs are added; this can result in a dense texture instead of the desired creamy consistency.
  4. Allow the cheesecake to cool completely at room temperature before refrigerating to prevent condensation from forming on the surface.
  5. For best results, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to set properly before serving.
  6. Before serving, you can customize your Churro Cheesecake by adding whipped cream, caramel sauce, or extra cinnamon sugar on top for a delightful finishing touch.
