I'm generally not a huge cereal-eater; I prefer a nice muffin like a banana bluberry muffin if given the choice; however I must admit I have always loved Cinnamon Toast Crunch. The reason? It's just like eating dessert for breakfast! The perfect blend of sweet and spicy, I look forward to enjoying a big bowl of it now and again. I also look forward to using some of the box for these cute little cheesecake bites. The tang of cheesecake combined with this sweet cereal is just too good to pass up.
The ingredients are just a few everyday things:
step one: use a food processor or blender to blitz the cinnamon toast crunch into small crumbs
step two: add the butter and pulse until completely incorporated
step three: beat the cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy
step four: add the egg, vanilla, and cinnamon to the cream cheese and beat until smooth
step five: pack down about a tablespoon of the crust mixture into a mini muffin tin lined with 24 paper liners
step six: add about a tablespoon of cheesecake mixture on top of each crust
step seven: bake the cheesecakes until no longer jiggly in the center, cool then chill completely in fridge
These cheesecakes are great for 3-4 days in the fridge in an airtight container. You can also freeze for up to 6 months, simply thaw for a couple hours in the fridge before enjoying!
Everyone's favorite childhood cereal made into a delicious dessert that everyone will enjoy!
Preheat oven to 350 F, line a mini muffin tin with paper liners and set aside
In a food processor or blender, pulse the cereal until crumbs remain, then add the butter and pulse again until combined
In a large bowl, cream together the cream cheese and sugar, then add the egg, vanilla, and cinnamon and beat until smooth
Add one tablespoon of crust mixture to each paper liner, press down firmly with a spoon, then add a scant tablespoon of cheesecake filling on top (you will need to scrape the bowl but you should be able to get 24). Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until centers are set and the top is no longer glossy
Allow cheesecakes to cool slightly, then finish cooling in the fridge. Garnish with some cereal immediately before serving if desired

Tuesday February 21, 2023What size of pie crust dish or baking dish would this require if you want to make a pie or bars versus mini bites. Thanks

Tuesday February 21, 2023I would double the recipe for a 9x9 baking pan to make bars (bake about 30 minutes). I would double the crust and triple the filling for a 9" spring form pan to make a traditional cheesecake. (bake about 60 minutes) I would also add about 1/2 cup sour cream or heavy cream to the filling before baking for bars or cheesecake. I have not tried this exact recipe myself however I have made tons of cheesecakes and cheesecake bars and this is the approximate ratio they follow.
