Pumpkin Cheesecake Bites

Pumpkin Cheesecake Bites are a creamy, spiced dessert perfect for fall. These bite-sized treats feature a graham cracker crust and a rich pumpkin-flavored cheesecake filling, ideal for parties or portion-controlled indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar (for crust)
  • 4 tbsp melted butter
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 large egg
  • Whipped cream for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
  2. In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, 2 tbsp sugar, and melted butter. Mix until evenly moistened.
  3. Press about a teaspoon of the crust mixture into the bottom of each mini muffin cup and press down firmly.
  4. Bake crusts for 5 minutes, then remove and let cool slightly.
  5. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add pumpkin puree, 1/3 cup sugar, vanilla, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix until combined.
  6. Add the egg and mix just until incorporated. Do not overmix.
  7. Spoon the cheesecake filling over the cooled crusts, filling each cup nearly to the top.
  8. Bake for 13–15 minutes or until centers are set.
  9. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until chilled.
  10. Top with whipped cream before serving, if desired.

Notes

  • These can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Use a mini muffin pan for perfect bite-sized portions.
  • Let cream cheese come to room temperature for a smoother filling.
