There is something truly special about mixing two favorite desserts into one. These little cheesecakes have a buttery crust and a spiced filling that reminds everyone of a fresh cinnamon roll straight from the oven.

My family loves these because they are perfect for brunch or a weekend treat. For the smoothest filling, make sure your cream cheese is completely soft before you start mixing.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and line a muffin tin with paper liners.

  2. 2

    Mix the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter in a small bowl, then press a spoonful into the bottom of each muffin cup.

  3. 3

    Beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar in a large bowl until the mixture is smooth.

  4. 4

    Add the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract and sour cream, mixing until just combined.

  5. 5

    Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each one nearly to the top.

  6. 6

    Whisk the cinnamon with a teaspoon of water and drop a small amount onto each cheesecake, using a toothpick to swirl it into the batter.

  7. 7

    Bake for 20 minutes or until the centers are just set.

  8. 8

    Let the cheesecakes cool completely, then whisk the powdered sugar and milk together to create a glaze and drizzle it over the top before serving.

💡 Tips

Store these in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to four days. If you want a little extra crunch, sprinkle some toasted pecans on top right before you serve them.
