    What is a mini cheesecake?

    A mini cheesecake is pretty much what it sounds like it is.
    It is smaller version of a typical cheesecake.

    In this recipe, the mini cheesecakes are the size of muffins or cupcakes.
    This make it easier for serving as these mini cheesecakes are baked and served as individual servings.

    How do you know when a mini cheesecake is done baking?

    Cheesecake recipes such as this one can be a bit confusing as they are usually baked until almost or just set. Determining this is more about the center being a slight bit jiggly rather than crumbs absent from a toothpick.

    For this reason, these mini cheesecakes will take about an hour to fully set before they should be served. The first half hour of setting is done in the cupcake pan at room temperature. After that, the cupcakes are removed from the pan and transferred to a refrigerator to finish setting.

    Tips for making pumpkin cheesecakes.

    While my pumpkin cheesecakes are made in individual sizes, you could make yours as one large cheesecake. I would however that you adjust the baking time as needed.

    More tips for you.

    1. Pumpkin puree is needed to make this recipe. Make sure that you are using pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling as they are different.
    2. Bake the cupcakes until the center seems almost set. It may be a bit wiggly in the center.
    3. Allow the cupcakes to set before serving. It can take about an hour to fully set.
    4. These cheesecakes should be stored in an airtight container. If refrigerated and stored correctly, the should keep for about five days or longer if frozen.

    Personalize these pumpkin cupcakes.

    These pumpkin cheesecake cupcakes are great just the way they are.
    However, you can make yours even better.

    Try one of these ideas.

    • Instead of graham crackers use cookies such as gingerbread or gingersnap cookies.
    • Drizzle some melted white chocolate chips on top or add white chocolate chips to the batter.
    • For a crunchy topping, crush additional graham crackers on top of the cupcakes.
