Time 3h5m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 9

26 gingersnap cookies
3 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
3 eggs
3/4 cup canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup whipping cream
1 tablespoon sugar

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Place paper baking cup in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups. Place 1 gingersnap, flat side down, in bottom of each cup.
  • In large bowl, beat cream cheese and 1 cup sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, just until blended. Add pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice; beat just until blended. Stir in chocolate chips. Pour into muffin cups, filling full.
  • Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until almost firm. Cool 20 minutes. Remove from pans. Refrigerate cheesecakes in paper baking cups at least 2 hours before serving.
  • Place remaining 2 gingersnaps in resealable food-storage plastic bag; seal bag and crush with rolling pin or meat mallet (or crush in food processor). In chilled small bowl, beat whipping cream and 1 tablespoon sugar with electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. Remove cheesecakes from paper baking cups. Spoon 1 teaspoon whipped cream on each cheesecake. Sprinkle with gingersnap crumbs.
