Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, beat 8 oz softened cream cheese with 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Step 2: In a separate bowl, whip 1/2 cup heavy cream to stiff peaks, taking care not to overbeat.
  3. Step 3: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated and light.
  4. Step 4: Combine 1 cup graham cracker crumbs, 2 tsp ground cinnamon, and 4 tbsp melted unsalted butter in a shallow dish; mix until crumbs are evenly coated and moist.
  5. Step 5: Using a tablespoon, scoop the cheesecake mixture and roll into 1-inch balls, then roll each ball thoroughly in the cinnamon-sugar crumb mixture to coat.
  6. Step 6: Place the coated cheesecake bites on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to firm up.
  7. Step 7: Before serving, dust with 2 tbsp powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
