Instructions

Line a 12-count muffin tin with paper liners.

In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter. Press into the bottom of liners and chill in the fridge.

For the filling, beat cream cheese and brown sugar until smooth. Add salt, yogurt, lemon juice, vanilla, and cinnamon. Mix well.

Slowly add heavy cream while mixing on low. Once fully incorporated, whip on high for 1–2 minutes until thick and fluffy.

Spoon or pipe filling over crusts and smooth tops. Chill while preparing the swirl topping.

For the cinnamon swirl, beat cream cheese, butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until smooth. Pipe swirls over each cheesecake.

Chill cheesecakes for at least 3 hours or overnight. Optional: Freeze for 10–15 minutes before unwrapping to cleanly peel off liners.

Notes

Chill cheesecakes well before unwrapping.

Freeze briefly to ease removal from liners.

Use a piping bag for clean swirl presentation.
