Ingredients
- 18 gingersnap cookies
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
- Fine salt
- 2 eggs, at room temperature
- 1 1/4 cup, plus 1/3 cup sour cream
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 1 15-ounce can pure pumpkin puree
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice, plus more for dusting
Directions
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.

These were really good, and very easy to make. The recipe made 20 for me. I also didn't top them with the sour cream, because I felt like that would be dairy overkill. I didn't have any trouble finding ginger snaps; got mine at Whole Foods.

I'm so glad I found this recipe! I used an almond & graham cracker crust for mine.

I made this recipe for a get-together with my friends. Wow! So good! Everyone loved them and the mini size made them much more convenient. I couldn't find ginger snaps at the store so I ended up crushing ginger bread cookies and making a cookie crust. I also was iffy about the sour cream but it was the perfect balance to the sweet cheesecake. I will definitely be making these again!
