Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 12 mini cinnamon rolls (from refrigerated dough, baked and cooled)
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 2 (8 oz) blocks cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
For Garnish:
- 1 cup whipped topping or sweetened sour cream
- cinnamon sugar or icing drizzle (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- Prepare the Crust: Place one baked mini cinnamon roll in the bottom of each liner to serve as the crust.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using), and mix until well blended. Add eggs one at a time, beating just until combined after each.
- Fill the Muffin Cups: Divide the cheesecake filling evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Bake: Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the centers are set but still slightly jiggly.
- Cool and Chill: Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
- Top and Serve: Top with whipped topping, cinnamon sugar, or icing before serving.
Notes
- Use store-bought mini cinnamon rolls for convenience or homemade if preferred.
- For a glaze topping, whisk together 1/2 cup powdered sugar with 1 tablespoon milk and drizzle before serving.
