Cinnamon Cream Cheese Filling Recipes

CINNAMON CREAM CHEESE POCKETS

Steps:

• Beat the cream cheese in a medium sized bowl until smooth. Add half the powdered sugar and the vanilla and beat until mostly combined. Scrape down the sides, add the remaining powdered sugar, and beat until creamy.
• Pop the package of biscuits. Take a biscuit and roll it out until it's about 1/4" thick. Either spoon or pipe about 1 1/2 tbsp of the cream cheese mixture into the middle of the biscuit. Fold the edges over and pinch them together. Use a fork around the edges to ensure they're fully sealed.
• Heat the oil in a pot until it reaches 350F. Add a few pockets at a time, not overcrowding the pot, and let them fry for 1-2 minutes. Flip and fry for another 1-2 minutes, or until they're golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and into a paper towel lined bowl.
• Stir the sugar and cinnamon together. While the pockets are still warm, but not too hot to touch, roll them through the cinnamon sugar to coat. Allow them to cool for 10-15 minutes before taking a bite.

CINNAMON CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

Steps:

• Cut the butter into slices and add to the bowl of your mixer. Beat on low to medium speed until the butter is softened and smooth.
• Cut the cold cream cheese into pieces and add to the butter, beating at low to medium speed until incorporated. If you are using a hand mixer you may need to soften the cream cheese a bit more.
• Add the vanilla. Gradually add the powdered sugar and cinnamon beating on low speed until blended. Cover the bowl with a towel to keep down the cloud of powdered sugar.
• Increase mixing speed and beat until fluffy. Don't over beat or it will become too soft. If it becomes too soft, just refrigerate a short while to firm it up a bit.
• **If you are making a dark brown swirl of frosting on top of the cake as we did, reserve 1/4 cup of frosting as set aside.
• This frosting will pipe best if used while still chilled. You can make it in advance, refrigerate and when ready to use let it soften slightly (do not microwave) and remix.
• Will frost a 3 layer 8 or 9 inch cake.

CINNAMON SUGAR CREAM CHEESE WONTONS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Mix cream cheese, 8 tablespoons sugar, and 1 tablespoon cinnamon in a bowl until well blended. Spoon 1 teaspoonful of the filling into each wonton wrapper. Fold the wonton like a triangle and seal 2 edges together with water; squeeze the sides together to lock out the air. Wet the ends of the triangle; fold into the center 1 at a time.
• Place the filled wontons carefully into the oil; cook until golden brown on 1 side, about 2 minutes. Turn wontons over and cook until the other side is golden brown, about 2 minutes.
• Mix 1 tablespoon cinnamon and 1 tablespoon sugar in a small bowl. Sprinkle on top of fried wontons.
