Instructions
Gingersnap Crust:
-
Prepare 12 baking cups with paper liners, or grease with cooking spray.
-
In a bowl, whisk together the gingersnap cookie, butter, and salt until well blended.
-
Scoop 1 packed tablespoon of the crust into each baking cup, then press down to pack firm.
-
Bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees F, then remove and set aside.
Cinnamon Cheesecakes:
-
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Begin to boil a large kettle or pot of water for the water bath.
-
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the cream cheese and sugar, then mix on medium speed until smooth.
-
Add the eggs, one at a time, fully incorporating each before adding the next. Make sure to scrape down the bowl in between each egg.
-
Add the heavy cream, vanilla, and cinnamon, and mix until smooth. Do not overmix.
-
Pour the batter into each crust-prepared baking cup until ¾ full.
-
Once the water is boiling, carefully place a large baking dish on the lower rack of the oven and pull the rack out a few inches outward. Pour the water into the dish.
-
Place the cheesecake pan in the oven, and bake for 25 minutes, or until the edges appear to be set and the center still has a slight jiggle to it.
-
Turn off the oven, then open the oven door slightly for 5 minutes.
-
Remove the pan, then place it on a cooling rack until completely cooled.

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, salt, pumpkin pie spice, eggs, evaporated milk, and cream until well blended.
-
Pour into a greased 9-inch pie pan, then bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the pie comes out clean.
-
Remove and let cool, then refrigerate.
-
When ready to “frost” the cheesecakes, take out the pumpkin pie and spoon the filling into a piping bag.
-
Pipe the pumpkin pie frosting over the mini cheesecakes, serve, and enjoy!
