PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE CUPCAKES
After deciding against buying a springform pan, but wanting cheesecake for Thanksgiving, I combined a few recipes to get this final product. It got great reviews from all the family! These cupcakes really should be made the day before, as well as the frosting. I store mine in tupperware in the fridge so they set up nicely.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line 18 muffin cups, from 2 12-cup muffin tins, with paper liners. Place 1 whole cookie in the bottom of each lined cup.
- Beat the cream cheese, granulated and brown sugars and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy, 2 to 3 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Reduce the speed to low and beat in the eggs until combined. Beat in the half-and-half and sour cream until smooth. Use a spatula to stir in the pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice until well blended. Divide the batter evenly among the cookie-lined cups (the cups will be very full).
- Bake until the filling is just set and a knife inserted into the center comes out moist but clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool completely in the pans on a wire rack and then refrigerate until cold, at least 4 hours or up to overnight. Top each with whipped cream and a sprinkle of crystallized ginger before serving.

PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE
When I was young we produced several ingredients for this longtime favorite on the farm. We raised pumpkins in our large vegetable garden, and made homemade butter and lots of sour cream using milk from our dairy herd. -Evonne Wurmnest, Normal, Illinois

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325˚ F. Wrap the outside (bottom and sides) of a 9-inch springform pan with foil to prevent leaking. Make the crust: Toss the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter and sugar in a bowl until combined. Firmly press into the bottom of the pan. Bake until set and a few shades darker, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool completely.
- Bring a kettle of water to a boil. Make the filling: Beat the cream cheese in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy, about 3 more minutes. Add the pumpkin, sour cream, pie spice, vanilla and salt and beat until combined. Add the eggs and beat on medium-low speed until just combined; switch to a rubber spatula for the last few stirs, making sure to get the bottom of the bowl. Pour the filling into the cooled crust; gently tap the pan on the counter a few times to release any air bubbles.
- Set the cheesecake in a roasting pan or large baking dish and set on the middle oven rack. Carefully pour the boiling water into the roasting pan until it comes one-third of the way up the sides of the springform pan. Bake the cheesecake until it's set around the edges but the center is still jiggly, about 1 1/2 hours. Turn the oven off, crack the door open slightly and leave the cheesecake in the oven for 30 to 45 more minutes. Transfer to a rack, run a thin knife around the edge and let cool completely. Cover the cheesecake and refrigerate until fully chilled, at least 8 hours or overnight.
- Let the cheesecake sit at room temperature about 30 minutes before serving. Remove the springform ring. Top with whipped cream.
Tips:
- For a creamier cheesecake filling, use full-fat cream cheese.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before mixing it with the other ingredients.
- Don't overmix the cheesecake filling, or it will become dense.
- Bake the cheesecakes in a water bath to prevent them from cracking.
- Chill the cheesecakes for at least 4 hours before serving.
- Top the cheesecakes with whipped cream, pumpkin spice, or chopped nuts before serving.
Conclusion:
Pumpkin cheesecake cups are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With a creamy cheesecake filling and a graham cracker crust, these cheesecakes are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these pumpkin cheesecake cups a try!
