There is something so special about bringing two favorite desserts together. My family always gets excited when these come out of the oven because they satisfy that craving for a warm cinnamon roll while giving you a decadent cheesecake bite at the same time.

For the best results, make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature before you start mixing. It makes the batter so much smoother and prevents those annoying little lumps from hiding in your creamy filling.

🧺 Ingredients

1 cup graham cracker crumbs
3 tablespoons melted butter
16 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup cream cheese frosting, slightly warmed

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
2
In a small bowl, stir together the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until the mixture looks like wet sand.
3
Press a spoonful of the crumb mixture into the bottom of each muffin liner and bake for 5 minutes, then set aside to cool.
4
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
5
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing slowly, followed by the vanilla extract.
6
In a separate small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together.
7
Divide half of the cheesecake batter among the muffin cups, then sprinkle a little cinnamon sugar over each.
8
Top with the remaining batter and swirl a tiny bit of the cinnamon sugar mixture into the top with a toothpick.
9
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until the centers are just set.
10
Let the cheesecakes cool completely, then drizzle with the warmed cream cheese frosting before serving.

💡 Tips

Store these cheesecakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days. They taste wonderful chilled, but you can also leave them out for ten minutes to soften before enjoying.
