Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Add Remaining Cheesecake Ingredients: Mix in the sour cream, heavy cream, honey, vanilla extract, and flour until everything is well combined and the batter is smooth.
Create Honey Cinnamon Swirl: In a small bowl, mix together the honey, melted butter, and ground cinnamon for the swirl.
Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour half of the cheesecake batter over the prepared crust. Drizzle half of the honey cinnamon swirl over the batter. Use a knife to gently swirl the mixture into the batter. Repeat with the remaining batter and swirl mixture.
Bake: Place the cheesecake in the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes or until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for about an hour.
Chill: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed.
Glaze the Cheesecake: Remove the chilled cheesecake from the springform pan. Drizzle the glaze over the top of the cheesecake.
Serve: Slice the cheesecake into portions and serve chilled. Enjoy the delicious flavors of the honey bun cheesecake!
