Equipment
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 electric mixer or whisk
- 1 measuring cups and spoons
- 1 muffin tin mini or regular
- 1 plastic wrap or parchment paper
Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- ½ cup graham cracker crumbs
- 4 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Start by mixing the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl until well combined. This will form the crust for your cheesecake bites.
- Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom of each cup of a muffin tin. Use the back of a spoon to pack it tightly.
- In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer or whisk until smooth and fluffy.
- Add the pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice to the cream cheese mixture. Continue to mix until everything is combined and there are no lumps.
- Spoon the pumpkin cheesecake mixture over the prepared crusts in the muffin tin, filling each cup until full. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
- Cover the muffin tin with plastic wrap or parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
- Once chilled, remove the bites from the muffin tin. You can use a knife around the edges to loosen them if needed.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
