Ingredients
  

For the crust:

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the cheesecake filling:

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup canned pumpkin puree

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

For the topping:

Whipped cream

Ground cinnamon or nutmeg for dusting

Mini cinnamon sticks (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are well-coated and resemble wet sand.

    Form the crust: Line a muffin tin with paper liners. Evenly distribute the crumb mixture into the liners, pressing down firmly with your fingers or the bottom of a glass to create a compact layer. Chill in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to set.

      Make the filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix until well combined and creamy.

        Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin cheesecake mixture until fully incorporated, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.

          Assemble the cheesecakes: Spoon the pumpkin cheesecake filling into the prepared crusts, filling each liner almost to the top. Smooth out the surface with a spatula or the back of a spoon.

            Chill: Cover the muffin tin with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the cheesecakes to firm up.

              Serve: Once set, carefully remove the mini cheesecakes from the muffin tin. Top each with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon or nutmeg. Garnish with mini cinnamon sticks if desired.
