Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls
  • Mini Muffin Tins
  • Measuring Cups
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Electric mixer

Ingredients
  

For the Crust

  • 1 cup Graham Cracker Crumbs Substitute with gingersnap cookies for a spicier twist.
  • 4 tbsp Unsalted Butter Can be replaced with coconut oil for a non-dairy option.

For the Filling

  • 8 oz Cream Cheese Opt for full-fat for richer flavor.
  • 1 cup Pumpkin Puree Use homemade for extra freshness or canned for convenience.
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar Consider maple syrup or honey for a healthier alternative.
  • 2 Large Eggs For a vegan choice, try flax eggs.
  • 1 tbsp Pumpkin Pie Spice Can be substituted with a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract Elevates and enhances all the flavors in the cheesecake.

Instructions
 

Directions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until it resembles wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of lined mini muffin tins to form a sturdy crust.
  • In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until it’s smooth and creamy. Gradually incorporate pumpkin puree, sugar, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla until everything is well blended and airy.
  • Spoon the filling into the prepared crusts, filling them about three-quarters full. Bake for approximately 20 minutes, until the centers look slightly jiggly but set.
  • Once baked, let them cool to room temperature. Then, refrigerate the bites for at least two hours.
  • Just before serving, garnish with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Notes

Optional: Drizzle with caramel sauce for an indulgent twist. Allow cream cheese to soften for easier mixing.
