For the Honeybun Topping:

Prepare the Cinnamon Roll Filling:

In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and ground cinnamon.

Stir in the melted butter until the mixture forms a crumbly texture. Set aside.

In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.

Add the vanilla extract and mix well.

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Mix in the sour cream and heavy cream until fully incorporated.


Add the Cinnamon Roll Swirl:

Pour half of the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust.

Spoon half of the cinnamon roll filling mixture in dollops over the cheesecake layer.

Use a knife or toothpick to swirl the cinnamon filling into the cheesecake batter.

Pour the remaining cheesecake filling on top and repeat the swirling process with the remaining cinnamon roll mixture.


Bake the Cheesecake:

Place the cheesecake in the oven and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are lightly golden. The center may still jiggle slightly.

Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly open for 1 hour.

Remove from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.


Prepare the Honeybun Topping:

In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Drizzle the glaze over the chilled cheesecake just before serving.


Tips:

To avoid cracks in your cheesecake, ensure that all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing.

Dakota Fire Hole Pit

 


The Dakota fire hole system was named after the Dakota Native American people who developed the technology centuries ago. The system originated in today's North and South Dakota, Wisconsin and Minnesota. 

It was designed to combat the constant wind that blew over the Plains, and to prevent prairie fires which would scare off the bison. 

The Dakota fire pit was made up of two holes, a bigger and a smaller one which were connected by a tunnel. 

The fire was lit in the bigger hole, and the tunnel provided a constant feed of fresh oxygen into the fire, making for an almost smokeless fire. Since the fire was underground and protected from the elements, it was concealed and burned much hotter, making it ideal for stealth camping and cooking. This is why the U.S. army has been teaching its soldiers how to build a Dakota fire hole since the Vietnam war, where it was first used by U.S. soldiers to stay hidden from the Viet-Cong in the Vietnamese jungles. 

The only downside to the Dakota fire pit is that it needs to be built on rich and firm soil, as it is almost impossible to make one in frozen, sandy or heavy soil. The Dakota had the benefit of living in the grassy North American Plains, where the soil was ideal for the Dakota fire pit.
