LOCATION

Directions

  • 1 Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray mini cheesecake pan (12 cups) with cooking spray.
  • 2 In food processor, process gingersnap cookies with on/off pulses until finely ground (about 1 cup). Add melted butter; pulse until mixed. Press crumb mixture firmly into each cheesecake cup to form crust. Bake 8 minutes.
  • 3 Meanwhile, beat cream cheese and brown sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Beat in pumpkin, sour cream and salt, scraping bowl frequently. Add egg, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg; beat until well blended.
  • 4 Divide mixture evenly into crust-lined cups.
  • 5 Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until set. Cool completely in pan, about 30 minutes. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • 6 Serve cheesecakes topped with whipped cream and drizzled with caramel sauce. Store in refrigerator.

LOVED THEM!!! My husband, who never likes anything I make, said they were killer. I had to record him saying that. Made them for Thanksgiving and the whole family raved, just raved about them. I will make them again, but I think I'll used a different cookie for the crust then the gingersnap next time around. Perfect bite size for entertaining.

I agree with some of the other reviews - did not fill up enough and I will only make 8 the next time. And, I also had a problem, like the previous reviewer, with them deflating.
