Ingredients
Scale

- 30g (2 tbsp) Unsalted Butter, melted
- 300g (10.5 oz) Cream Cheese, softened
- 100g (0.5 cup) Granulated Sugar
- 2 Large Eggs
- 5ml (1 tsp) Vanilla Extract, alcohol-free
- 5g (1 tsp) Ground Cinnamon
- 100g (0.5 cup) Light Brown Sugar
- 60ml (0.25 cup) Honey
- 30g (2 tbsp) Unsalted Butter
- Zest of 1 Orange
- 15ml (1 tbsp) Water
- Candied Orange Peel Strips
Instructions
- Prepare Cinnamon Roll Crusts: Preheat oven to 160°C (325°F) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin. Tear dough into pieces.
- Combine Dough and Butter: Mix torn dough with melted butter until evenly coated.
- Press into Muffin Tin: Press dough mixture into muffin cups to form a crust.
- Bake the Crusts: Bake crusts for 8 minutes, until lightly golden.
- Prepare Cheesecake Filling: Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
- Add Eggs and Flavorings: Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla and cinnamon.
- Pour Filling into Crusts: Pour filling over crusts, filling cups almost to the top.
- Bake the Cheesecakes: Bake for 18-20 minutes, until edges are set but centers wobble.
- Cooling Process: Cool in oven with door ajar for 1 hour, then chill for 4+ hours.
- Prepare Orange Honey Caramel Glaze: Combine brown sugar, honey, butter, water, and orange zest in a saucepan.
- Cook the Glaze: Stir until mixture thickens and turns amber, about 5-6 minutes.
- Release and Glaze: Release cheesecakes and drizzle with caramel glaze.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with orange peel and cinnamon; serve immediately.
Notes
Ensure cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps. Don’t overbake; a slight wobble indicates doneness. Chilling is essential for proper setting.
