Pumpkin Cheesecake

Fall is in the air! I am SOOO ready for all things pumpkin! I feel like pumpkin pie should be saved for Thanksgiving, but these little treats are delicious and will certainly satisfy your craving of pumpkin pie.

Pumpkin Cheesecake Cupcakes

Crust:
- 1 1/3 C Graham Cracker crumbs
-1/4 C sugar
-1/3 C melted butter


-combine the crumbs sugar and butter and mix thoroughly. Press into desired lined muffin tins.
-bake crust at 350 degrees F for about 8 minutes

Filling:
-2 pkg cream cheese, softened
-1 can of condensed milk
-2 C pumpkin puree
-1 tsp cinnamon
-1/8 tsp ginger
-1/2 tsp nutmeg
-1/8 tsp ground cloves
-1/2 tsp salt
-1 tsp vanilla
-2 eggs


-Mix the cream cheese until it is fluffy, add the condensed milk, pumpkin and spices and mix until it is well combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing only until fully incorporated.
-Spoon the filling out over the crust 

Bake at 300 degrees for 20-30 minutes. The top should not look wet or glossy to be fully cooked as the pumpkin adds a lot of moisture.

-Allow to cool to room temperature and then refrigerate for at least 2-4 hours before serving. Top with whipped cream before serving. 

Whipped Cream

-1 C heavy whipping cream
-1/4 C sugar 
(add more or less depending on how sweet you like your whipped cream)
-2 tsp vanilla

-mix on high until thick and fluffy
