Description
These Mini Cinnamon Roll Cheesecakes combine a creamy cheesecake texture with the warm, spiced goodness of cinnamon rolls, making them a delightful treat for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (or crushed cinnamon graham crackers)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tbsp milk
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a standard muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and cinnamon. Add melted butter and mix until the crumbs are well coated. Press about 1 ½ tablespoons of this mixture into each liner.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and ½ cup sugar until the mixture is smooth and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing just until blended. Stir in sour cream and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until it forms a paste; this will be your cinnamon swirl.
- Divide the cheesecake batter evenly over the prepared crusts. Drop ½ teaspoon of the cinnamon swirl mixture onto each cheesecake and swirl it with a toothpick for that irresistible cinnamon roll look.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes until the centers set but are still slightly jiggly. Allow them to cool for about 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least two hours.
- For the cream cheese glaze, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Then, mix in powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until well combined.
- Drizzle the glaze over the chilled cheesecakes just before serving.
Notes
These cheesecakes are best enjoyed chilled. You can serve them as is or add a sprinkle of cinnamon and a dollop of whipped cream on top for an extra treat.
