An easy pumpkin dessert to make

We always make pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving dinner, and we’ll usually also have it for Christmas. I had a few extra cans of pumpkin puree left and decided I’d try something out with them. I remembered the Oreo Cheesecake Bars recipe and adapted it to make a smaller pumpkin caramel-ish treat.

Making these mini pumpkin cheesecakes was pretty simple. I whipped up the necessary ingredients, made sure to give them a warm, caramelicious center, and baked them in a muffin pan to make mini cheesecakes. OMG. These pumpkin caramel cheesecake bites turned out amazing! I guess you could call them pumpkin cheesecake cups because of how they’re made, and I just may I die with one of these in my mouth!

Ingredients

Make the graham cracker crust

Let’s get started with these tasty pumpkin caramel cheesecake bites! First, you’ll preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease your muffin pan with non-stick spray. Combine the crushed graham crackers and melted butter in a bowl and fill the bottom of each cup, pressing down firmly to compact and flatten. This is your graham cracker crust.
