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

Scale

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.
