Mini Cinnamon Roll Cheesecakes

Equipment
12-cup muffin pan + paper liners (or silicone)
Electric mixer
Piping bag or zip-top bag (for swirl/glaze, optional)

Ingredients
Crust
1½ cups (150 g) graham cracker crumbs (or crushed cinnamon grahams)
2 tbsp light brown sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
6 tbsp (85 g) unsalted butter, melted
Pinch of salt
Cheesecake filling
16 oz (450 g) cream cheese, room temp
1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
1/4 cup (55 g) light brown sugar
2 large eggs, room temp
1/2 cup (120 g) sour cream, room temp
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp all-purpose flour or cornstarch
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
Cinnamon roll swirl
3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1/3 cup (65 g) light brown sugar
1–1½ tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Optional cream cheese glaze
2 oz (55 g) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup (60 g) powdered sugar, sifted
1–2 tbsp milk or cream, to thin
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

Directions
Prep
Heat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line muffin pan with 12 liners.
Make the crust
Stir crumbs, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and melted butter until evenly moistened.
Divide among liners (about 1 heaping tbsp each). Press firmly with a spoon or flat-bottom glass.
Bake 6–7 minutes. Cool while you make filling.
Cinnamon swirl
Mix melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt until syrupy. Transfer to a small piping bag/zip bag; snip a tiny tip. Set aside.
Cheesecake filling
Beat cream cheese on medium until smooth, 1 minute. Add sugars; beat 1–2 minutes, scraping bowl.
Mix in eggs one at a time just until incorporated.
Beat in sour cream, vanilla, flour/cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt until silky and lump-free (avoid overbeating).
Fill and swirl
Spoon batter over crusts, nearly to the top (about 2½ tbsp each).
Pipe a small spiral of cinnamon swirl on each; use a toothpick to gently drag lines outward to create a rose/roll pattern. Reserve a little for post-bake touch-up if desired.
Bake
Bake at 325°F (163°C) for 16–20 minutes, until edges are set and centers still jiggle slightly (no browning).
Turn off oven, crack door, and let sit 10 minutes to reduce cracking.
Chill
Cool to room temp, then refrigerate at least 3 hours (overnight best). They firm as they chill.
Optional glaze
Beat glaze ingredients smooth, thinning with milk to a drizzle. Pipe or spoon a thin spiral/glaze over chilled cheesecakes.
Finish
Dust lightly with cinnamon or cocoa if you like. Peel liners and serve cold or slightly cool.
Make-ahead and storage
Keep covered in the fridge up to 4 days.
Freeze (without glaze) up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the fridge, then glaze.
Tips for the pretty swirl
Swirl mixture should be pourable but not runny; add a touch more melted butter if too thick.
Don’t overfill with swirl—too much sugar can sink. A thin spiral + toothpick feathering gives a clean rose.

After a lot of thought, I have decided to make a bot called "MaxBot".

It will mispronounce every single town name on stream and desperately be searching for a girlfriend.

LISTEN: Jacob Rockwell was fined for running a red light in Pensacola, Florida.

Only thing is Jacob wasn’t in Florida, he was in Alabama.

He sounded off at a local city meeting recently and his concerns go beyond just one citation.

Sadly, another Tornado Debris Signature (TDS)...and spotter confirmation.

This is in northern Jackson County moving through Spraytown and heading toward I-65...close call Seymour.

My native apex predator of the deep (Lake Trout) would not like that tho

[Jim O'Brien @JimOBrienWX]

Main threats today in the larger storm complexes...

1) Wind gusts to 80 mph
2) Large hail, 2.5" (tennis ball sized) in diameter
3) Long-lived "tracked" tornadoes from Illinois to Indiana with second round (8pm-2am locally)
4) Flash flooding, up to 4" in spots, esp. north

[Max Velocity @MaxVelocityWX]

I am very concerned about tomorrow's severe weather setup...

Models are continuing to hint at SEVERAL discrete supercells during the mid-late afternoon and evening. If this transpires, we would have a serious risk of multiple large and strong to intense (EF-3+) tornadoes.

One of the failure modes for tomorrow would be that these storms do not stay discrete, and they upscale quickly into a line of thunderstorms. This would suppress *some* of the large tornado threat, but not all of it, because even one semi-discrete or discrete supercell out in front of the line will try to produce a significant tornado threat. And even if nothing stays discrete, that line of storms will produce tornadoes and destructive damaging winds.

Needless to say, this setup in June is really crazy. If things go the way they look right now, it could turn into a significant tornado outbreak.

Plots using @aguacerowx for @nwiwxnetwork for the potential major tornado outbreak tomorrow. #ilwx #inwx

[NWS Storm Prediction Center @NWSSPC]

A severe weather outbreak is forecast tomorrow (Wednesday, June 17th) across portions of Illinois and Indiana. Here, we take a few minutes to discuss this impending threat in more detail.

[Max Velocity @MaxVelocityWX]

We have an UPGRADED tornado threat in Indiana and Michigan today! Storm Chaser Connor Croff has an update on today!

@ChasingWConnor

[Reed Timmer, PhD @ReedTimmerUSA]

Live emergency update - lead jet streak could cause failure scenarios for #tornado outbreak in central Illinois into northern Indiana. Moderate risk includes Peoria/Springfield to South Bend. Supercells fire on front 3-4 pm if ample recovery happens

[MyRadar Weather @MyRadarWX]

INCREDIBLE shear, or changing winds with height, on Wednesday.

We have "off the charts" helicity, or twist. Look how much the winds change with height! Any storms will feel those changing winds and rotate profusely.

NWS Chicago is calling it "off the charts" spin.

[Ryan Hall, Y’all @ryanhallyall]

Beyond the tornado threat we flagged earlier, the wind story tomorrow is just as serious. SPC has a 30% damaging-wind area up across Illinois, Missouri, and Indiana.

That hatched zone is what stands out to me. It means once those storms clump into one big line, you could see extreme gusts of 80 mph or more carving a long path east. That's the kind of wind that takes down trees and power lines for hours. We'll be LIVE with it.

[Ryan Hall, Y’all @ryanhallyall]

The most likely spot for hen-egg-size hail tomorrow, 2 inches or bigger, runs around Chicago, IL, Indianapolis, IN, and Kansas City, MO.

That's hail that dents cars and busts windshields in seconds. Out west along the cold front into Missouri, the early storms that stay on their own can pile up the biggest stones before they clump into a line. Just one more piece of an already serious day.
