Ingredients
Crust
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs About 10-12 full crackers
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 6 Tbsp unsalted butter melted
Pumpkin Cheesecake Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla
- pinch salt
Optional toppings
- crushed graham crackers
- caramel drizzle
- whipped cream
Instructions
Make and Chill the Crust
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon. Mix until everything is well combined and resembles wet sand.
- Spoon 1 rounded tablespoon of crust mixture into each mini cupcake liner and press down firmly to form a crust. I like to use my fingers for ease, but you can also use the bottom of a spice jar or shot glass to get a nice flat base.
- Place the pan in the fridge to chill while you make the filling.
Make the Pumpkin Cheesecake Filling
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer (or stand mixer) until smooth and fluffy.
- Add the pumpkin purée, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt. Beat again until fully combined and smooth.
- Note: Your filling may seem a bit wet, depending on the consistency of your pumpkin puree. If you think it’s too watery, you can add about ¼ cup of powdered sugar to help. It will thicken up more in the fridge when it chills, though.
Fill and Chill
- Spoon or pipe the pumpkin cheesecake filling over the chilled graham crusts. I like to use a piping bag with no tip or a plain round tip to pipe simple swirls.
- Once filled, refrigerate the bites for at least 2 hours, or until firm and set. You can also make them the night before and chill overnight.
Decorate and Serve
- Right before serving, feel free to top your cheesecake bites with a little crushed graham cracker, a caramel drizzle, or a swirl of whipped cream.
