Ingredients
For the Crust:

4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
For the Cheesecake Filling:
16 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 large egg
For the Cinnamon-Sugar Topping:
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a mini muffin tin with paper liners. Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a small bowl. Press 1 tablespoon of the mixture into each muffin liner to form the crust.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: Beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla extract and egg, mixing until fully combined.
- Assemble the Cheesecake Bites: Spoon the cheesecake filling into each muffin liner, filling them almost to the top.
- Add Cinnamon-Sugar Topping: In a small bowl, mix cinnamon and sugar, then sprinkle this mixture over the cheesecake bites.
- Bake: Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the cheesecake is set. Allow the bites to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill.
- Serve: Remove the cheesecake bites from the tin, peel off the liners, and serve chilled.
Notes
Cream Cheese: Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smooth filling.
Storage: Store these cheesecake bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. They can also be frozen for up to 2 months.
