Ingredients
Crust
- 1 Cup Graham Cracker Crumbs
- 4 Tablespoons Salted Butter Melted
- 3 Tablespoons Sugar
Cheesecake Filling
- 12 Ounces Cream Cheese Softened
- ¾ Cup Pumpkin Puree
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- ½ Cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 Teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice
- 2 Large Eggs
- Whipped Cream for Topping
- Ground Cinnamon for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners and set aside.
Crust
- In a small bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter and sugar. Add about a tablespoon of the mixture to each cupcake liner and press down firmly, I placed a cupcake liner on top of the crumbs to get a nice, even layer. Discard the extra cupcake liner after all 12 crusts have been pressed down. Bake for 5 minutes.
Cheesecake Filling
- In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese and pumpkin puree until smooth. Add the vanilla, sugar, and pumpkin pie spice and mix again until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
- Use a large scoop to fill each cupcake liner until they are just about full.
- Bake for 16-20 minutes, just until the cheesecakes are set in the middle. Cool to room temperature. Cover the cheesecakes and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight.
- Top the chilled cheesecakes with whipped cream and dust with ground cinnamon.
