Description

This recipe, “Mini Churro Cheesecakes,” is a delightful fusion of two beloved desserts: churros and cheesecake


Ingredients

Scale

Crust:

  • 10 cinnamon graham crackers, crushed
  • 4 Tbsp. butter, melted
  • 2 Tbsp. granulated sugar
  • Pinch of kosher salt

Cheesecakes:

  • 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 6-oz. tub Cool Whip
  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp. ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of kosher salt
  • ¼ cup cinnamon sugar

Icing Swirl:

 

  • â…” cup powdered sugar
  • 2 Tbsp. cream cheese, softened
  • 1 Tbsp. whole milk

Instructions

 

  1. Prepare Muffin Tin: Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners and spray the liners with cooking spray.

  2. Make Crust: In a large bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, melted butter, sugar, and salt. Stir until completely moistened.

  3. Press Crust into Liners: Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of the paper liners. Set aside.

  4. Make Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer until light and fluffy. Add the sugar, Cool Whip, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until combined.

  5. Fill Crusts: Pour the cheesecake filling over the graham cracker crusts, filling each liner almost to the top.

  6. Sprinkle with Cinnamon Sugar: Sprinkle the tops of the cheesecakes generously with cinnamon sugar.

  7. Make Icing: In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar, softened cream cheese, and whole milk. Whisk until smooth. Transfer the icing to a small piping bag or a small Ziploc bag with the corner snipped off.

  8. Pipe Icing: Pipe a swirl of icing onto the center of each cupcake.

  9. Chill: Refrigerate the cheesecakes until firm, about 4 hours. This allows the filling to set completely.

  10. Serve: Enjoy!
