Instructions
 

Prepare the Dough: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin tin. Unroll the crescent roll dough and pinch the seams to create one sheet.

    Make the Cinnamon Sugar Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Brush the melted butter over the dough and then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly on top.

      Cut the Dough: Cut the dough into small squares (about 2 inches each). Place each square into the greased mini muffin tin, pressing them down gently to form little cups.

        Prepare the Cheesecake Batter: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add in the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Next, add the egg and sour cream, and mix until creamy and smooth.

          Fill the Cups: Spoon the cheesecake mixture into each cinnamon roll cup, filling them about 3/4 full.

            Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheesecakes are set and the tops are lightly golden.

              Cool: Remove the tin from the oven and let the bites cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                Make the Frosting: While the cheesecake bites are cooling, prepare the frosting by beating together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

                  Frost and Garnish: Once the cheesecake bites are completely cool, drizzle the cream cheese frosting on top. Sprinkle with extra cinnamon and chopped nuts if desired.

                    Serve: Enjoy your delicious Mini Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake Bites as a delightful dessert!
