Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted unsalted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press into muffin tins lined with cupcake liners and chill for 15 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, blend softened cream cheese, plain yogurt, and lemon juice until smooth. Gradually incorporate heavy cream, whisking until fluffy and mousse-like.
  3. Spoon the creamy filling into each muffin tin over the crust, smoothing the tops. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, cinnamon, and cream until smooth and spreadable for topping.
  5. Remove cheesecakes from the refrigerator and place them in the freezer for 10-15 minutes. Peel away liners and drizzle or pipe the topping over each cheesecake. Serve chilled.
