Description

Small, individual cheesecakes flavored like cinnamon rolls.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened (for swirl)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (for swirl)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for swirl)
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 1 tablespoon milk (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of each muffin liner. Bake for 5 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  3. Beat the 8 ounces of cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
  4. Spoon the cheesecake batter over the crusts, filling each liner about two-thirds full.
  5. Mix the remaining 1/4 cup cream cheese, brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon until combined. Drop small spoonfuls of this mixture onto the cheesecake batter.
  6. Use a toothpick to gently swirl the cinnamon mixture into the cheesecake batter.
  7. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the edges are set. Let cool completely in the pan, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  8. Whisk together powdered sugar and milk to make a thin glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the chilled cheesecakes before serving.

Notes

  • You can use vanilla wafers instead of graham crackers for the crust.
  • Make sure your cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth batter.
