Instructions
 

Crust

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
  • Line a muffin tin with 12 liners and put a nilla wafer in the bottom of each.

Cheesecake

  • Beat the cream cheese, sugar, flour and cinnamon on low to combine.
  • Add sour cream and vanilla.
  • Add eggs and combine well.

Cinnamon filling

  • Mix cinnamon and sugar together.

Assemble

  • Pour some batter onto each cookie.
  • Sprinkle on the cinnamon mix and top with more batter. Finish off the tops with more cinnamon mix.
  • Bake about 18 minutes and then shut oven. Cool in hot oven 5 more minutes and then cool on the counter to room temp. Chill

Icing

  • Whip all until a good piping consistency and pipe circles onto the cheesecakes.
  • Add about 1/2 to 3/4 of a tablespoon of filling into each cupcake, then sprinkle some cinnamon sugar over the filling, fully covering the filling. Repeat two more times for a total of three layers of filling and cinnamon sugar. The cupcakes should be mostly full.
  • Bake the cheesecakes for 15-17 minutes, then turn off the oven and leave the door closed for another 5 minutes.
  • Crack the oven door and allow cheesecakes to cool for 15-20 minutes, then put in the fridge to finish cooling.
  • When cheesecakes are cooled, remove them from the pan.
  • To make the frosting, mix the butter until smooth.
  • Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract and mix and mix until smooth.
  • Add the frosting to a piping bag fitted with a small round piping tip (or a ziplock bag with the corner cut off) and pipe a swirl of frosting onto each cheesecake.
  • Refrigerate cheesecakes until ready to serve
