How to Serve Mini Cinnamon Roll Cheesecakes

You can serve these Mini Cinnamon Roll Cheesecakes chilled, right out of the fridge. They are great as is but feel free to drizzle some extra cinnamon roll icing on top for added sweetness. You can also garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra special touch.

How to Store Mini Cinnamon Roll Cheesecakes

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will keep well for up to five days. If you want to make them ahead of time, you can prepare them and refrigerate them without the icing, then add the icing just before serving.

Tips to Make Mini Cinnamon Roll Cheesecakes

• Make sure your cream cheese is truly softened for the smoothest filling.
