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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
