 Mini Cinnamon Roll Cheesecakes - the best of both worlds 
Ingredients:
For the Crust:
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (or digestive biscuits)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
For the Cheesecake Filling:
16 oz (450 g) cream cheese, softened
½ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
½ cup sour cream
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
For the Cinnamon Swirl:
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
½ cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
Prepare the Crust:
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until evenly combined.
Press about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each muffin tin. Use the back of a spoon or a small glass to flatten. Bake for 5 minutes, then cool.
Make the Cheesecake Filling:
Beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing until just combined. Stir in vanilla, sour cream, and cinnamon.
Spoon the filling evenly into the prepared crusts, filling about ¾ full.
Prepare the Cinnamon Swirl:
Beat the softened butter, powdered sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla until smooth.
Transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a small round tip or a zip-top bag with a corner snipped off.
Create the Swirls:
Pipe a swirl of the cinnamon mixture onto the top of each cheesecake, starting from the center and working outward.
Bake:
Bake the mini cheesecakes for 18-20 minutes, or until the centers are set but still slightly jiggly.
Let the cheesecakes cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Decoration Tips:
Dust of Cinnamon:
Lightly dust the tops of the cheesecakes with additional cinnamon or cocoa powder for a professional finish.
Golden Glow:
Brush the tops lightly with melted butter and sprinkle with fine sugar for a sparkling effect.
Elegant Plate Presentation:
Serve each mini cheesecake on a small plate with a drizzle of caramel sauce or a dollop of whipped cream.
Festive Touch:
Add a small cinnamon stick or edible gold leaf to the top for special occasions.
Gift-Worthy Serving:
Place the mini cheesecakes in decorative cupcake liners for a polished and giftable presentation.
