  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 16 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups snickerdoodle cookie crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 whole eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for crust)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (for crust)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine snickerdoodle cookie crumbs, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
  3. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a lined or greased mini muffin pan to form the crust.

  7. Mix in vanilla extract and 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon until fully incorporated.
  8. Spoon the cheesecake filling over the crust in each muffin cup, filling almost to the top.
  9. Bake for 15 minutes or until the centers are set but still slightly jiggly.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Optionally, top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon before serving.

Notes

These cheesecake bites can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best texture, allow them to come to room temperature for a few minutes before serving. Adding whipped cream and extra cinnamon on top enhances the flavor and presentation.
