Ingredients
  

Churro Crust
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter, melted
Cheesecake Filling
  • 2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Cinnamon Sugar Topping
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (optional, for a richer topping)

Equipment

  • 8x8 inch baking pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Medium Bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ½ cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon salt. Pour in the melted butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs and holds together when squeezed.

  3. Evenly press this churro mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Ensure it's pressed down firmly and evenly to create a solid base for your cheesecake. Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly while you prepare the filling.
  4. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling. (Instructions for filling and topping are not provided in the article excerpt).
