Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

For the Cinnamon-Sugar Coating:

  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

These simple ingredients come together to create a dessert that’s rich, creamy, and full of that cinnamon goodness.

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well to ensure easy removal later.
  2. Prepare the crust: In a small bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1 tbsp sugar until combined. Press a small amount of this mixture into the bottom of each muffin cup to form the base crust.
  3. Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Then, add the egg, vanilla extract, cinnamon, sour cream, and heavy cream. Continue to beat until everything is well combined and smooth.
  4. Assemble: Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the graham cracker crusts, filling each muffin cup almost to the top.
  5. Bake: Place the mini cheesecake bites into the oven and bake for about 20-22 minutes, or until the cheesecakes are set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  6. Cool and chill: Let them cool to room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set.
  7. Cinnamon-sugar coating: Once cooled, mix 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon in a small bowl. Roll the top of each cheesecake bite in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to add a delightful crunchy topping.

Pro Tip: To get an even cinnamon-sugar coating, make sure the bites are completely cooled before rolling them.

Equipment

Notes

  • When pressing the crust into the muffin cups, use the back of a spoon or your fingers to press it down firmly. This ensures a solid base for the cheesecake filling.
  • Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing. This helps avoid any lumps in the batter.
  • For a quicker chill time, place the cheesecake bites in the freezer for about 30 minutes before serving.
