These creamy no-bake pumpkin pie cheesecake cups combine smooth cheesecake with pumpkin spice sweetness in an easy, elegant dessert perfect for fall gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice (or mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves)
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • Optional toppings: whipped cream, chopped pecans or walnuts, caramel sauce

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until crumbs are evenly moistened and resemble wet sand (about 2-3 minutes).
  2. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the crust mixture into the bottom of each serving cup. Press down gently to create a firm layer. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down sides as needed.
  4. Add sour cream and powdered sugar to the cream cheese. Beat on low speed until combined, then increase to medium and mix until silky, about 1-2 minutes.
  5. Mix in pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice. Beat just until blended, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Spoon or pipe the pumpkin cheesecake filling over the crust layer in each cup, filling almost to the top. Smooth the surface.
  7. Cover the cups and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until set and firm but creamy.
  8. Before serving, garnish with whipped cream, chopped nuts, or caramel sauce if desired.

Notes

Let cream cheese soften for about an hour before mixing for smooth texture. Avoid overbeating to prevent grainy filling. Press crust gently to keep crumbly texture. Chilling overnight is best for firm, sliceable texture. Use plain pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. For firmer filling, add 1 tsp unflavored gelatin dissolved in warm water.
