Instructions

Preheat the Oven and Prepare Pans:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Spray a mini cheesecake pan or a muffin tin with non-stick spray.

Prepare the Cinnamon Roll Base:

  • Separate the cinnamon roll dough into individual rolls. Take each roll and flatten it into a small disc that can fit into the bottom of each mini cheesecake or muffin cup.
  • Place each disc in the bottom of a cup in your prepared pan.

Make the Cheesecake Filling:

  • In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
  • Add sugar and vanilla, and beat until creamy and well combined.
  • Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition just until blended.
  • Stir in ground cinnamon and nutmeg if using.

Assemble the Cheesecakes:

  • Spoon the cheesecake filling over each cinnamon roll base in the muffin cups, filling each almost to the top.
  • In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Drizzle or spoon a small amount of this cinnamon sugar mixture over each cheesecake.

Bake:

  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheesecakes are set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Prepare the Frosting:

  • Mix the icing from the cinnamon roll package with powdered sugar if desired for extra sweetness. This step is optional depending on your preference for sweetness.

Final Touches:

  • Once chilled, remove the cheesecakes from the pan. Drizzle with the prepared frosting before serving.
