Indulge in a creamy treat that's perfect for any gathering! Enjoy the delightful crunch of your favorite cereal in every bite.

### 🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️
- 1 cup sour cream  
- 3 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened  
- 2 cups Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal, crushed  
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar  
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon  
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted  
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract  
- 3 large eggs  
- 1 cup Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal, for garnish (optional)  
- Whipped cream, for serving (optional)  

### 🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳   
1. Preheat the Oven:  
   Set your oven to 325°F (160°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.  

2. Make the Crust:  
   In a bowl, mix the crushed Cinnamon Toast Crunch, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Combine until it looks like wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of your prepared springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then let it cool.  

3. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:  
   In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla and mix until combined. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Finally, stir in sour cream and ground cinnamon until blended.  

4. Bake the Cheesecake:  
   Pour the filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes until the center is set but slightly jiggly, and the edges are firm. Turn off the oven, crack the door slightly, and let it cool in the oven for about an hour to prevent cracking.  

5. Cool and Chill:  
   Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, until set and chilled.  

6. Add the Topping:  
   Just before serving, sprinkle the top of the cheesecake with additional Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal for that extra crunch!  

7. Serve:  
   Slice your delicious creation and serve with whipped cream, if desired. Enjoy this sweet treat! 🍽️
