Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened (full-fat recommended)
  • 3/4 cup pumpkin puree (plain, not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 3/4 cup whipped cream

Optional Toppings

  • Whipped cream
  • Chopped nuts (pecans or almonds)
  • Additional ground cinnamon or nutmeg for dusting

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and a pinch of ground cinnamon until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of serving cups to form a sturdy crust layer.
  2. Whip the Filling: In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add pumpkin puree, maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Continue beating until all ingredients are well combined and creamy.
  3. Fold in Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture until fully incorporated, creating a light and fluffy texture.
  4. Assemble the Cups: Spoon the pumpkin cheesecake filling over the crust layer in each cup. Smooth the tops with a spatula and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
  5. Add Toppings: Just before serving, garnish with your choice of whipped cream, chopped nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon to enhance flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest texture and best flavor.
  • Chill the cups for at least 2 hours to allow the cheesecake to set properly.
  • Bring cream cheese and pumpkin puree to room temperature for smoother mixing.
  • Taste the filling before chilling and adjust spices as desired.
  • These cups can be prepared a day ahead for enhanced flavor and convenience.
