Description
No Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake Cups are creamy, spiced, and perfectly portioned fall desserts. With a buttery graham cracker crust and fluffy pumpkin cheesecake filling, they’re simple to make, require no oven, and are ideal for holidays or entertaining.
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (or 9 whole crackers)
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
A pinch of salt
7 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup canned pumpkin
1/4 teaspoon pumpkin spice
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- If using whole graham crackers, place them in a Ziploc bag and crush with a rolling pin until fine crumbs form.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine graham crumbs, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in melted butter until evenly moistened.
- Line a 12-cup muffin tray with cupcake liners. Add about 1/4 cup crust mixture to each liner and press firmly with the back of a spoon. Freeze for 10 minutes.
- In a clean bowl, beat cream cheese and granulated sugar with a hand mixer on medium speed for 30 seconds until smooth.
- Mix in pumpkin and pumpkin spice on low speed until combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat heavy whipping cream on high speed until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture until just combined.
- Remove crusts from the freezer and spoon about 1/4 cup of cheesecake filling into each cup, smoothing the tops.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
- Before serving, garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Notes
For extra spice, swap graham crackers with crushed gingersnaps.
Add chopped pecans or walnuts to the crust for crunch.
Pipe sweetened whipped cream on top before serving for added flair.
Can be made in mini jars for presentation.
