  • Total Time: 3 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: 6 individual servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Crust Ingredients

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 5 tablespoons melted butter

Cheesecake Filling Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

Whipped Cream

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (or pre-made whipped cream)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and brown sugar in a bowl. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of individual serving cups to form a crunchy base.
  2. Mix the pumpkin cheesecake filling: Beat softened cream cheese until smooth in a large bowl. Gradually fold in pumpkin puree, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger until fully incorporated and creamy.
  3. Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin cheesecake mixture to lighten the texture and create a fluffy richness.
  4. Assemble the cups: Spoon the pumpkin cheesecake filling over the set crust in each cup. Smooth the tops with the back of a spoon or spatula for a neat finish.
  5. Chill and serve: Refrigerate the assembled cups for at least 3 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the filling to firm up for the perfect creamy consistency.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese for a smooth, lump-free filling.
  • Don’t skip the chilling step to allow flavors to develop and texture to set well.
  • Press the crust firmly to prevent crumbling and ensure it holds together.
  • Adjust spices to your taste preference for your desired pumpkin spice flavor.
  • Serve chilled, not frozen, to maintain the best texture.
