Mini No-Bake Pumpkin Cheesecakes

  • Level: Easy
  • Yield: 12 servings
  • Total: 20 min (plus 2 hr chilling)
  • Active: 15 min
Gingersnaps fit perfectly into the bottom of muffin cups so they make a great mini pie crust for these tiny treats. A little bit of gelatin helps the pumpkin-cream cheese filling set without making it hard or rubbery.

Ingredients

12 gingersnaps, plus crushed gingersnaps for topping

1 1/4-ounce packet unflavored gelatin

2 tablespoons warm water

12 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature

1 cup confectioners' sugar

2/3 cup pure pumpkin puree

2/3 cup heavy cream 

1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 

Whipped cream, for topping

Directions

  1. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners and put a gingersnap in each cup.
  2. Stir the gelatin into the warm water in a microwave-safe bowl until mostly dissolved; let stand 5 minutes, then microwave in 10-second intervals until melted.
  3. Combine the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, pumpkin puree, heavy cream, gelatin mixture, pie spice and vanilla in a large bowl and beat with a mixer until fluffy. Spread in the muffin cups over the gingersnaps and refrigerate until set, at least 2 hours. 
  4. Remove the cheesecakes from the muffin tins. Remove the liners and top with whipped cream and crushed gingersnaps.
