Ingredients
Scale
Crust
1 cup graham cracker crumbs, gluten-free if needed
⅛ tsp salt
3 ½ Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
Filling
12 oz (1½ blocks) full-fat cream cheese, at room temperature
½ cup Nate’s 100% Pure Honey
½ cup pumpkin puree, at room temperature
⅓ cup sour cream or Greek Yogurt, at room temperature
1 ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbsp all-purpose flour, gluten-free if needed
2 large eggs, at room temperature
Optional Toppings
Whipped cream
Ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a standard 12-count muffin pan with 12 liners.
Crust:
Combine all of the crust ingredients in a medium bowl. Mixture will be sandy. Firmly press a heaping tablespoon of crust mixture into each liner, pressing the bottom of a small drinking glass or measuring cup into graham crumbs to form an even layer.
Filling:
Beat cream cheese until smooth. Then add honey, pumpkin puree, sour cream or Greek yogurt, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and flour; blend until creamy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing just until incorporated.
Fill each muffin liner almost to the top with batter, smoothing the tops if necessary.
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until cheesecakes are set and only slightly jiggle in the center. Cool to room temperature then refrigerate until firm, about 3 hours.
When ready to serve, top with whipped cream and garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired.
