How to Make Mini Cinnamon Roll Cheesecakes

Follow these simple steps to make yourself your very own home-cooked cinnamon cheesecake bites:

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

Pre-heat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line the muffin tin with cupcake liners.
Mix in a large bowl together the sugar, Graham cracker crumbs, as well as cinnamon and the melted butter until well mixed.
Press around one tablespoon of the crust mix inside each muffin liner.
Bake the cake for about 5 minutes. Then, set aside for cooling.

Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling

Within a mixing bowl large enough, beat the cream cheese that has been softened until it is smooth.
Add the sugar granulated and vanilla extract, and mix until completely blended.
Beat each egg one at a time, followed by the heavy cream and cinnamon.
Mix until the mixture is smooth and smooth.

Step 3: Prepare the Cinnamon Swirl

In a small dish, mix the cinnamon, brown sugar, and butter that has been melted.
Scoop approximately one teaspoon of the mix onto each portion of cheesecake batter.
Use a knife or toothpick to stir the cinnamon mix into the batter.

Step 4: Bake the Cheesecakes

The cheesecakes are baked for 18 to 20 minutes or until the centers have set.
Allow them to sit in the pan to cool for 10–15 minutes, then transfer them to the refrigerator to cool for a minimum of 2 hours.

Step 5: Make the Glaze and Serve

Within a bowl, make a mixture of the powdered sugar and milk until they are smooth.
Serve the cheesecakes cooled with a drizzle of honey prior to serving.

Notes

Use ingredients at room temperature to create a smooth, creamy filling for cheesecake.
Do not mix too much of the batter to avoid cracking.
Make a gentle swirl to make sure that you do not mix the cinnamon too heavily into the filling.
