Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until everything is coated well. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of each liner.
In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until it’s smooth and fluffy. Add in pumpkin puree, sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice. Give it a good mix until well combined.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring they’re fully incorporated before adding the next one.
Pour this creamy pumpkin cheesecake filling over each crust, filling each liner almost to the top.
Pop the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the centers are just set.
Allow your mini cheesecakes to cool before transferring them to the fridge. Chill them for at least an hour or until completely cold.
Serve them up with a dollop of whipped cream, and watch them disappear!
These mini cheesecakes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Top with caramel sauce or a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers for added texture and flavor.
For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free graham cracker crumbs. You can also substitute the cream cheese with a dairy-free alternative if needed.
