Ingredients

  • 2 cups cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup turkey bacon cooked and chopped (optional)
  • 1/4 cup butter melted
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Lightly grease your 9-inch springform pan or line the bottom with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy with no lumps.
  • Add the sour cream, eggs one at a time, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Beat on low speed just until fully incorporated.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into your prepared springform pan and smooth the top. Bake in your preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly and the edges are lightly golden.
  • Allow the cheesecake to cool in the pan on a cooling rack for about an hour. Meanwhile, mix melted butter, powdered sugar, and milk to create a simple glaze. Drizzle this glaze over the slightly warm cheesecake.
  • If using turkey bacon, sprinkle the cooked and chopped pieces evenly over the glaze once it has set for a savory contrast.
