No-Bake Pumpkin Spice Mini Cheesecake Recipe
With all the desserts I’ve been making lately, you knew there was going to be a pumpkin spice cheesecake, right? I added an extra step to include extra pumpkin spice for those of you who love it as much as I do. The best part is, it’s a no-bake recipe so it’s easy enough for the kids and grandkids to join in!
Here’s What You’ll Need:
Ingredients:
Pie Crust Ingredients:
- 1 sleeve of cinnamon sugar graham crackers
- 7 Tbsp butter, melted
Cheesecake Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup cool whip
- 12 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 cup pumpkin puree
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 1 1/2 tbsp cinnamon
PREPARATION:
- Melt butter in a small dish
- Crush your graham crackers by hand or in your blender or food processor, then mix in butter thoroughly. Add a bit of cinnamon and sugar if you are using regular grahams.
- In your mini cheesecake pan or cupcake pan, place approximately 1 spoonful of graham crust in each dish, packing it down evenly
- Place your pan in the fridge to while you make your cheesecake mixture
- In a blender, soften the cream cheese, gradually adding in the powdered sugar until completely smooth
- Fold in the cool whip until blended
- Spoon in about 1 large tablespoon of cheesecake mix into each dish and pat down evenly
- Create a finger-sized hole in the center of each cheesecake
- In a small bowl, mix your puree, cinnamon, and sugar
- Add a layer of puree mix to the cheesecakes, filling the center hole and top layer
- Allow to settle in fridge for at least 30 minutes
- Top with cool whip and a sprinkle of cinnamon
Pumpkin Spice Center Filling
I added the small hole in the center of each cheesecake to allow for an extra bite of pumpkin spice filling. I can’t get enough of this flavor, so for me, it was a tasty addition to the mini cheesecakes. It added just the right amount of extra flavor.
Perfect Fall and Winter Dessert
The warm blends of pumpkin, cinnamon, and sugar are always my favorite go-to flavors for fall and winter. Desserts are my weakness, but it’s a wonderful flavor to add into breakfast, like my pumpkin spice crepes, with a hot cup o coffee. These mini cheesecakes are the perfect size for kids and individual desserts when you don’t want to whip up an entire pie or cheesecake.
