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
- Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- 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.
- Beat the 8 ounces of cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
- Spoon the cheesecake batter over the crusts, filling each liner about two-thirds full.
- 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.
- Use a toothpick to gently swirl the cinnamon mixture into the cheesecake batter.
- 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.
- 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.
