Mini Pumpkin Cheesecakes

A buttery graham cracker bottom crust with creamy pumpkin cheesecake. I love the flavor because it’s not overwhelming pumpkin in your face, just enough to give you all the fall feels. Top with some whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon and you are in a bit of pumpkin heaven.
