Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Crust:
    • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
    • 2 tablespoons sugar
    • 4 tablespoons butter, melted
  • For the Cheesecake Filling:
    • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
    • 1/2 cup sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 egg
  • For the Pumpkin Swirl:
    • 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
    • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.

Step 2: Prepare the Crust

In a small bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Spoon a tablespoon of the crumb mixture into each liner, pressing it down firmly to create the crust.

Step 3: Make the Cheesecake Filling

In a medium bowl, blend the cream cheese and 1/2 cup sugar with a mixer until smooth. Mix in the vanilla extract and egg until combined.

Step 4: Prepare the Pumpkin Swirl

In a separate bowl, stir together the pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice. Take 3/4 cup of the cheesecake batter and mix it with the pumpkin mixture.

Step 5: Assemble the Cheesecakes

Fill each muffin liner about 2/3 full with the cheesecake batter, then dollop a spoonful of pumpkin mixture on top. Use a toothpick to swirl for a marbled effect.

Step 6: Bake

Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the centers are set. Let cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

Storage

The mini cheesecakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Serving Suggestions

These mini cheesecakes are delightful on their own but can also be topped with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra festive touch.
