This recipe I made few years ago but I wanted to update with new photos and step by step instructions. It is the most yummy pumpkin cheesecake recipe that you can have for your Thanksgiving dessert. However, these pumpkin cheesecake bites are so soft and delicate. You can simply taste the flavor of spices perfect for pumpkin like cinnamon and nutmeg. Easily topped with freshly made whipped cream and coconut. Moreover, they contain great amount of greek yogurt and that is why they are so soft. As a result, they basically melt in your mouth.

Tips to make Pumpkin Bites

  • Cream cheese, greek yogurt and egg should be at room temperature. Therefore, few hours before making your dessert take out these ingredients from the fridge.
  • Buy graham cracker crust or regular honey crackers that you can easily crush at home.
  • Once the little cheesecake cupcakes are made cool them completely in the pan. They might be very delicate and once hot they will basically won’t stay nicely together. Importantly, just let them rest on the counter top. Overnight store them in the refrigerator. I’ve noticed they were the best on the next day.
  • Decorate them with whatever you have on hand. I used whipped cream and coconut. Toppings here can be endless including fruit, chocolate, sprinkles etc.
