Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 cup graham-cracker or digestive biscuit crumbs
  • 2 tbsp melted butter

For the Filling:

  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • ½ cup canned pumpkin puree
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice (or cinnamon + nutmeg)
  • 1 egg

For Topping:

  • Cream cheese frosting
  • Caramel sauce

Instructions

  1. Crust layer: Mix crumbs with melted butter, press into lined mini muffin cups. Chill for 10 minutes.
  2. Pumpkin filling: Beat cream cheese until smooth, then add pumpkin, sugar, vanilla, spice, and egg. Whip until creamy.
  3. Spoon filling over chilled crusts: Fill each cup about ¾ full.
  4. Bake: Bake at 325 °F (160 °C) for about 18-20 minutes until the crust is golden and the center is slightly wobbly. Cool, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
  5. Before serving: Pipe a swirl of cream cheese frosting and drizzle with caramel sauce. Optional: add a nut garnish.

Notes

  • For a spicier crust, try using gingersnaps or a mix of gingersnaps and graham crackers.
  • Experiment with different toppings like whipped cream or marshmallow fluff.
  • Enhance the flavor with toppings such as salted caramel, chopped pecans, walnuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar.
