MINI PUMPKIN CHEESECAKES
Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line 18 muffin cups with paper liners. Place 1 whole cookie in the bottom of each lined cup.
- 2. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon fine salt on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy, 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides, reduce speed to low and beat in the eggs, 1 at a time, until combined. Beat in 1/3 cup sour cream and heavy cream. Stir in the pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice until smooth. Divide evenly among cookie-lined paper cups, filling almost all the way to the top.
- 3. Bake until the filling is just set, 40 to 45 minutes. A sharp knife inserted into the center will come out moist, but clean. Top each cheesecake with some of the remaining 1 1/4 cup sour cream, about 1 heaping tablespoon, using a spoon to gently spread. Cool completely in tins on a wire rack. Refrigerate until cold, 4 hours, or overnight. Top with a dusting of pumpkin pie spice.

Found this recipe in the coupon insert of my Sunday paper, on the page with a coupon for Karo syrup and Argo corn starch. The picture looks really good and it sounds easy enough that I might just try it for Thanksgiving. Some of the garnishes pictured include raspberries, cherries, praline and a chocolate with pecans. Times do not include chill time.

Tips:
- Use fresh pumpkin puree: Fresh pumpkin puree has a more intense flavor than canned puree, and it will make your cheesecakes taste more like fall. To make your own pumpkin puree, simply roast a pumpkin in the oven until it is tender, then scoop out the flesh and puree it in a food processor.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your cheesecakes tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined, then stop.
- Bake the cheesecakes in a water bath: Baking the cheesecakes in a water bath helps to prevent them from cracking. To create a water bath, place the cheesecakes in a larger baking dish filled with hot water.
- Chill the cheesecakes before serving: Chilling the cheesecakes before serving helps them to set and firm up. You can chill the cheesecakes for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
Conclusion:
These individual pumpkin cheesecakes are the perfect fall dessert. They are creamy, flavorful, and have a beautiful pumpkin spice flavor. They are also easy to make, and they can be made ahead of time. So next time you are looking for a special dessert to serve, give these individual pumpkin cheesecakes a try.
