Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup pumpkin purée
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
Crust
- 10–12 cookie or graham cracker crusts (mini size) or crushed cookie crumbs mixed with butter as preferred
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with the pumpkin purée and sugar. Beat thoroughly until smooth and creamy with no lumps.
- Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold the whipped topping into the pumpkin mixture until evenly incorporated, creating a light and fluffy texture.
- Fill the Crusts: Spoon the pumpkin cheesecake filling evenly into the mini crusts, smoothing the tops with the back of the spoon or a spatula.
- Chill to Set: Place the filled crusts in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours or until the cheesecakes are firm and nicely set.
- Serve: Optionally garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg before serving. Enjoy chilled for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can use store-bought mini graham cracker crusts for convenience or make your own by pressing crushed cookies with melted butter into mini muffin tins.
- For added spice, consider adding 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, or pumpkin pie spice to the filling mixture.
- Allow full chilling time to ensure the cheesecakes set properly since they are no-bake.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
