Instructions

Pumpkin Cheesecake

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a tart or mini muffin pan with non-stick spray and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and melted butter. Stir together well with a fork, then place about 1½-2 teaspoon crumbs in each tart cavity. Press down to flatten bottom. Set aside.
  • With an electric mixer, beat cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth. Blend in remaining ingredients, mixing until well combined. Spoon a heaping Tablespoon of cheesecake mixture into each tart cavity over crusts.
  • Bake on lowest oven shelf for 18-20 minutes, until cheesecakes are set. Remove from oven and allow to cool to room temperature before removing from pan and refrigerating.

Praline Pecan Sauce

  • Melt butter and brown sugar in a small saucepan set over medium heat. Stir in cream, vanilla, and salt and bring to a low boil. Reduce heat and simmer 3-5 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in toasted pecans.
  • Spoon praline sauce over cheesecakes, then top with a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy!
