A fun twist on classic New York-style cheesecake—these mini cheesecake rolls are flavored with candy corn and are the perfect treat for fall! Creamy, sweet, and a bit of festive color makes these rolls a perfect dessert for Halloween or autumn gatherings.

Ingredients:

For the Candy Corn Cheesecake Filling: 2 cups cream cheese (softened)

1 cup sour cream

1/2 cup powdered sugar

2 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup heavy cream

1 cup candy corn (melted or blended into a puree)

1/4 tsp orange food coloring (optional, for a bright Halloween effect)

1/4 tsp yellow food coloring (optional, for a candy corn effect)

For the Crust: 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

1/4 cup sugar

1/2 cup melted butter

For the Candy Corn Topping: 1/2 cup candy corn (whole)

1/4 cup melted white chocolate or white chocolate chips

Instructions:

Make the Crust:

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

Mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl. Press the mixture into the bottom of a mini muffin tin or small tart pans to form the crust.

Bake for 8-10 minutes until the crust is golden. Allow to cool.

 

Prepare the Candy Corn Cheesecake Filling:

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sour cream until smooth and creamy.

Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to mix until fully combined.

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold into the cream cheese mixture.

Blend the melted candy corn or candy corn puree into the cheesecake mixture. If desired, add orange and yellow food coloring to create a layered candy corn effect.

 

Assemble the Cheesecake Rolls:

Spoon the cheesecake filling over the cooled graham cracker crusts, spreading evenly. You can swirl the layers of orange and yellow food coloring together for a candy corn look.

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.

 

Topping:

Melt the white chocolate and drizzle it over the set cheesecake rolls.

Decorate with whole candy corn on top for a festive look.

 

Serve & Enjoy:

Once the cheesecake rolls are set and the topping has hardened, they are ready to serve. Enjoy these creamy, festive treats!

Tip: If you want to make a larger, single cheesecake, you can pour the cheesecake filling into a larger pan and cut into slices once set.
