Mini Pumpkin Cheesecake

I absolutely LOVE cheesecake especially when they are mini because you can eat A LOT more.

Ingredients

Crust:

  • 1 1/2 C crushed graham crackers
  • 2 1/2 TBSP Sugar
  • 1/3 C butter (melted)

Cheesecake:

  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 1 Egg
  • 1/4 C sugar
  • 1/2 Tsp vanilla

Pumpkin Layer:

  • 8 oz Pupmkin puree
  • 1/2 C evaporated milk
  • 1 Egg
  • 1/8 C brown sugar
  • 1/8 C sugar
  • 1/2 Tsp cinnamon
  • 1/8 nutmeg
  • 1/8 Tsp salt

Directions

Preheat oven to 350º and line a muffin pan with liners and lightly spray with cooking spray.

Crust:

  • In a medium bowl, add graham crackers, sugar and butter and mix until combined
  • Press the crust into the bottom of the muffin liners
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes. Remover from oven and let them cool.

Cheesecake:

  • In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth
  • Add eggs, sugar, and vanilla. Beat until well combined then place in the fridge to chill for 35 minutes
  • Spoon the cream cheese mixture on top of the cooled graham cracker crust.

Pumpkin Layer:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk eggs until light and fluffy
  • Add pumpkin, milk. brown sugar, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix until combined
  • Place in a piping bag and spiral over the cream cheese mixture
  • Place a toothpick in and drag so it looks like a spiderweb
  • Bake for 45-55 minutes or until sides are set and the center wiggles a bit.

These are so yummy and worth making. I can eat the entire batch if I have to but I normally drop these off at my family, friends and neighbors houses.
