Description

These Mini Cinnamons offer a delightful, shortcut twist on classic cinnamon rolls by using decrusted bread slices as the base. The filling is a luscious blend of softened cream cheese, vanilla, egg, and sugar, creating a rich, smooth center that contrasts beautifully with the crispy, cinnamon-sugar coated exterior. Easy to prepare and ideal for make-ahead entertaining, these bite-sized treats are perfect for parties, potlucks, or a cozy weekend breakfast. They provide a comforting, bakery-style indulgence without the hassle of making dough from scratch.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC).
  2. In a bowl, beat the egg, vanilla, sugar, and softened cream cheese together until smooth and well combined.
  3. Remove the crusts from the 16 slices of bread.
  4. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over each slice of decrusted bread.
  5. Roll each slice up tightly, like a jelly roll.
  6. Melt butter or margarine in a shallow dish.
  7. In a separate shallow dish, mix 1 cup of sugar with 2 tablespoons of cinnamon.
  8. Dip each roll into the melted butter, ensuring it is fully coated.
  9. Roll the butter-coated rolls in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until evenly covered.
  10. Place the rolls on a baking sheet and cover with foil.
  11. Freeze the rolls for 2 to 3 hours until firm.
  12. Once firm, slice each roll into bite-sized pieces, yielding about 5 pieces per roll.
  13. Arrange the pieces on a baking sheet.
  14. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown on all sides.
  15. Serve warm.

Note

These rolls can be frozen after slicing for later use. Bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time if necessary.

Watch closely while baking to prevent burning, as oven temperatures vary and the sugar coating can burn quickly.

Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing to achieve a smooth filling without lumps.
