Method
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt. Use an electric mixer or whisk to blend until smooth and well combined.
Crust Preparation
- In a separate bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter together until the crumbs are evenly coated.
- Line your silicone mini muffin tray with parchment paper if desired for easy removal. Spoon about a teaspoon of the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of each muffin cup and press firmly to create a crust.
Assembly
- Top each crust with a spoonful (about 1 tablespoon) of the pumpkin cheesecake mixture, smoothing it out with the back of the spoon.
- Once all the cups are filled, refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until set.
- Carefully remove the pumpkin cheesecake bites from the tray and serve chilled.
Notes
Serve these bites chilled on a platter or in individual cups. Consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dollop of whipped cream on top for presentation. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. They can also be frozen and thawed before serving.
