Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Place an ovenproof glass pie plate in oven, 1/2 to 3/4 with water
- Prepare crust: by combining crust ingredients in a small bowl. Mix to combine with a fork.
- For 9" tart: Add the graham crumbs into a 9" tart pan. Spread along the bottom and at least halfway up the sides, taking care to even out the crust and tamp down, I used the bottom of a metal measuring cup.
- For mini tarts: Add one rounded tablespoon of moist crust crumbs into each mini cheesecake space. Use a small bottle (such as a spice bottle, or a shot glass) to press down the crumbs, to form a crust.
- Prepare the filling: Beat the cream cheese until very smooth. Add pumpkin, eggs, sour cream, sugar and spices. Blend until well combined. Add flour and vanilla, and beat until well combined and no lumps.
- Pour or spoon filling into prepared crusts. / Divide batter among the muffin tins.
- TART, bake for 25-30 minutes. Remove from oven and cool.
- MINI CHEESECAKES, bake in pre-heated oven for 17- 20 minutes. Remove from oven and cool.
- When completely cooled, cover lightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours minimum.
- Serving options: Top with a dollop of whipped cream or if using a topping (you can pipe it on with a frosting bag & tip) , Cool Whip works best and holds up for hours, even overnite. DELISH!

Steps:
- Remove the shells from the freezer and let them thaw at room temperature for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the pumpkin, whipped topping, and pumpkin pie spice in a medium bowl, whisking until smooth. Add the pudding mix and whisk until smooth and thick.
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the filling into each of the shells (you can also pipe the filling with a pastry bag or a plastic sandwich bag with one corner snipped off), then top the tarts with whipped topping and a sprinkling of the pumpkin pie spice, if you like.
Tips:
- Ensure Ingredients Are at Room Temperature: Before you start mixing, ensure your cream cheese, eggs, and sour cream are at room temperature. This will ensure they combine smoothly and create a creamy cheesecake filling.
- Use Fresh Pumpkin Puree: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh pumpkin puree. If you don't have fresh puree, you can use canned pumpkin puree, but be sure to drain it well before using.
- Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing can cause the cheesecake filling to become dense and tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake in a Water Bath: Baking the cheesecakes in a water bath helps prevent cracking and ensures even baking.
- Chill Thoroughly: After the cheesecakes are baked, let them cool completely at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight. This will allow them to set properly.
Conclusion:
These mini pumpkin cheesecake tarts are the perfect fall dessert. They are creamy, flavorful, and have the perfect amount of pumpkin spice. They are also easy to make and can be made ahead of time.
