Mini No-Bake Pumpkin Cheesecakes image

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.

Time 20m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

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

Steps:

  • Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners and put a gingersnap in each cup.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Remove the cheesecakes from the muffin tins. Remove the liners and top with whipped cream and crushed gingersnaps.
