An easy cinnamon roll hack that will make your house smell SO GOOD. Cheesecake filling is stuffed inside refrigerated cinnamon rolls for a perfect dessert.
Flatten cinnamon roll doll with your hand and then place it in the muffin tin, moulding it with your clean fingers so it is cup-shaped. Set aside.
Beat cream cheese, cinnamon, sugar and eggs with a mixer until smooth. Add about a teaspoonful of cheesecake batter to each cinnamon roll cup.
Bake for 17 minutes, or until cheesecake is set and cinnamon rolls are golden.
Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Make sure to generously grease your muffin pan before adding the dough. This will help prevent sticking and make cleanup much easier.
It’s normal for a little of the cheesecake filling to bubble up over the edges—don’t worry, it makes a delicious topping!
These rolls are best enjoyed slightly warm, when the cheesecake filling is soft and creamy, and the cinnamon roll edges are golden and flaky.
If you’re having trouble removing them from the pan, run a butter knife gently around the edges to loosen.
You can easily customize the cheesecake filling by adding flavors like pumpkin purée, chocolate chips, or butterscotch.
Store leftovers at room temperature for 1–2 days, in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven at 350°F or microwave before serving.
