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 pre-made pie crust to save time and effort. Simply press the dough into the tart pans and trim the edges.
- If you don't have any pumpkin puree, you can make your own by roasting a pumpkin. Simply cut the pumpkin in half, scoop out the seeds, and roast it at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about an hour, or until it is tender. Then, scoop the flesh out of the skin and puree it in a blender or food processor.
- For a richer flavor, use full-fat cream cheese. You can also use Neufchâtel cheese, which is a slightly lower-fat alternative.
- Be sure to let the tarts cool completely before serving. This will help them to set and hold their shape.
- Garnish the tarts with whipped cream, pumpkin seeds, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Conclusion:
Mini pumpkin cheesecake tarts are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover pumpkin puree, and they can be made ahead of time for a grab-and-go snack or dessert. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and impressive dessert that everyone will love.
