Indulge in irresistible Pumpkin Cheesecake Bites These decadent treats are perfect for any occasion delivering rich flavor in every bite
Ingredients
Scale
1 cup graham cracker crumbs (or gluten-free alternative)
4 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup pumpkin puree (ensure it’s pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling)
½ cup granulated sugar (or coconut sugar for a healthier twist)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp ground nutmeg
¼ tsp ground ginger
1 egg
Whipped cream (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and ¼ cup of sugar. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter and mix it into the crumb mixture until it resembles damp sand. Press this mixture into the bottom of a greased mini muffin pan.
Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the pumpkin puree, remaining sugar, vanilla extract, and spices, mixing until well combined. Finally, add in the egg and mix until the filling is smooth and creamy.
Fill the Muffin Pan: Spoon the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust in each muffin cup, filling just to the top.
Bake: Bake your bites in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until the filling is set around the edges and slightly jiggly in the center. Let them cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
