MINI PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE WITH PRALINE TOPPING
This recipe uses the mini cheesecake pan. I love cheesecake and have had so much fun using these pans, but it was hard finding recipes for them at first.

Steps:
- 1. Pre-heat oven to 325. Spray the wells of a 12 cup miniature cheesecake pan with non stick cooking spray. Combine crust ingredients and mix well. Divide the crumb mixture evenly into each of the cups and press firmly into the bottoms.
- 2. In a small bowl, combine the pumpkin, cinnamon, and pumkin pie spice, and then set aside. Using slow speed, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the sugars and continue beating until smooth and creamy, scraping the sides as needed. Add the pumpkin mixture and mix until blended. Add the egg and egg white and beat on slow just until well blended. Spoon this mixture over the crusts, dividing it evenly among the 12 cups. Tap the pan lightly on the counter a few times to remove large air bubbles and to make sure cups are filled evenly. Bake for approximately 23-24 minutes or until filling is set. Allow cheesecakes to cool completely and then remove them from the pan. Refrigerate for several hours before removing the bottom disks from the cheesecakes.
- 3. To make the topping, combine all ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. After the mixture has cooled slightly, spoon a small amount onto the tops of the cooled cheesecakes. Any leftover topping can be stored in the refrigerator and used for ice cream, etc.
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.

Tips:
- Use a quality cream cheese. This will ensure that your cheesecake has a rich and creamy flavor.
- Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before you start baking. This will help it mix smoothly with the other ingredients.
- Don't overbeat the cheesecake batter. Overbeating can cause the cheesecake to be dense and crumbly.
- Bake the cheesecake in a water bath. This will help prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
- Let the cheesecake cool completely before you serve it. This will help it set properly.
