Ingredients
- 1 Cup Graham Cracker Crumbs
- 4 Tablespoons Salted Butter (Melted)
- 3 Tablespoons Sugar
- 12 Ounces Cream Cheese (Softened)
- ¾ Cup Pumpkin Puree
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- ½ Cup Granulated Sugar

Method
- Heat the oven to 325°F and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- Mix the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter and 3 tbsp sugar, spoon about a tablespoon into each liner, and press the crumbs down firmly into an even crust.
- Beat the softened cream cheese with the pumpkin puree in a large bowl until completely smooth.
- Beat the vanilla extract, 1/2 cup granulated sugar and pumpkin pie spice into the pumpkin mixture.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition so the filling stays smooth.
- Scoop the filling into the liners until they are almost full and bake the mini cheesecakes for 16 to 20 minutes until their centres are just set.
- Cool the cheesecakes to room temperature, cover the tin, and refrigerate them for at least 3 hours or overnight until thoroughly chilled.
- Top each chilled cheesecake with whipped cream and a dusting of ground cinnamon before serving.
