Prep: 20 min · Cook: 180 min · Yield: 6 · Method: No-Cook

Ingredients

• 1.5 cup graham crackers
• 4 tbsp butter
• 16 oz cream cheese
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 0.75 cup powdered sugar
• 1.5 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Cooking instructions

1. Pulverize the graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or a rolling pin in a sealed bag. Melt the butter and stir it into the crumbs until well combined. Divide the mixture evenly among six serving glasses, pressing down lightly to form a base.
2. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract until smooth and uniform in texture.
3. In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin cheesecake mixture in three batches until just incorporated.
4. Spoon or pipe the mixture over the graham cracker bases in the glasses. Smooth the tops with an offset spatula.
5. Refrigerate the cheesecake cups, uncovered, to allow the filling to set before serving. (about 180 min)
