Description
These mini churro cheesecake bites combine warm cinnamon sugar flavor with creamy cheesecake filling. Perfect for parties, quick to bake, and freezer-friendly, they’re a sweet Mexican-inspired treat in every bite.
Ingredients
2 cups crushed Cinnamon Toast Crunch or graham crackers
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
16 oz cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup sour cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
2 large eggs
Cinnamon-sugar topping (2 tbsp sugar + 1 tsp cinnamon)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
2. Mix crushed cereal and melted butter. Press about 1 tbsp into each liner.
3. Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, sour cream, vanilla, and cinnamon.
4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently just until combined.
5. Divide batter evenly into liners, filling each about 3/4 full.
6. Bake 18–20 minutes, until centers are slightly jiggly and edges are set.
7. Cool completely at room temperature. Chill in fridge at least 2 hours.
8. Before serving, dust tops with cinnamon sugar and add optional whipped cream.
Notes
Use room-temperature cream cheese and eggs to prevent sinking.
Chill overnight for best flavor and texture.
Store in fridge for 5 days or freeze up to 3 months.
Try topping with dulce de leche or chocolate drizzle.
