Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 160°C (320°F).
  2. Blend biscuits, protein powder, and cinnamon in a food processor for 10-30 seconds. Add melted butter and milk (1/2 tbsp at a time) until a slightly sticky crumble forms.
  3. Press the base into a parchment-lined brownie pan, bake for 10 minutes, and let cool.
  4. Mix Cinnamon Roll filling ingredients until slightly sticky and set aside.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk cream cheese, yogurt, eggs, and vanilla until combined. Add dry ingredients and whisk until just combined.
  6. Pour half the cheesecake batter on the cooled base, sprinkle half the cinnamon roll filling on top, then add the rest of the batter and swirl in the remaining filling.
  7. Optional: Place pan into a larger dish filled with hot water, with water about 1 inch up the sides.
  8. Bake for 30-40 minutes (30 minutes for creamy, 40 for firm).
  9. Cool the cheesecake completely, then refrigerate for at least 5 hours.
  10. Cut into 12 slices and enjoy.
