Mini Pumpkin Cheesecakes
Mini pumpkin cheesecakes are the perfect fall desert to get you in the mood for all things pumpkin spice! They are creamy, have a crunch in the cookie bottom and so easy to make. I know once you sink your teeth into these, you will be more excited to make them than getting a PSL! HA!
The secret to amazing mini cheesecakes, in my opinion, is making sure your cream cheese and eggs are room temperature! This ensures the batter will have a smooth consistency and not be lumpy.
Mini Pumpkin Cheesecake
*Makes 18 mini cheesecakes
Ingredients
Two 8 ounce packages of cream cheese, softened
2/3 cup of sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
3 eggs, at room temperature
1/2 cup pumpkin purée
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 tbsp flour
18 golden Oreos or gingersnap cookies
Cheesecake Topping
1 cup sour cream
3 tbsp sugar
1 tsp vanilla
candy pumpkins
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line muffin tin and place one golden oreo or gingersnap cookie at the bottom of each muffin tin.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and add one egg at a time until well combined. Add in pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice and flour, mix until incorporated and batter is smooth
Pour the filling mixture into muffin tins and bake for about 25-30 mins. While cheesecakes are baking, in a small bowl mix together sour cream, sugar, and vanilla
Once cheesecakes are done baking (should be slightly brown on top, when you take them out they will start to deflate to create a well for the topping) spread the sour cream mixture over the hot cheesecakes. Let cool and chill in refrigerator for a few hours before serving. Top with candy pumpkin right before serving
