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.
