Ingredients

Crust:

  • 8 graham crackers crushed
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1.5 Tbsp granulated sugar
  • 4 Tbsp unsalted butter

Cheesecake:

  • 16 oz cream cheese room temperature
  • 1/2 C powdered sugar
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 tsp almond extract

Pumpkin Swirl:

  • 1/3 C pumpkin puree
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground allspice
  • 2 tsp all purpose flour

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. 
  • Crush graham crackers until they are fine crumbs. Stir in the unsalted butter, cinnamon and sugar. Mix until the crumbs are moist (sand like texture).
  • Line a muffin pan with cupcake liners. Add the crumbs to the bottom of each cupcake liner. Press down firmly on the crumbs.
  • Make the cheesecake filling - add room temperature cream cream to a bowl of a stand mixer. Mix until smooth. 
  • Add powdered sugar and almond extract to the cream cheese. Beat for 2 minutes. 
  • Add egg whites one at a time on low until incorporated. Please do not overbeat the mixture.
  • Take half of the cheesecake mixture and divide it among the muffin cups.
  • Make the pumpkin swirl - mix the pumpkin puree, cinnamon, allspice and flour together in a small bowl. Add ¼ cup cheesecake mixture to the pumpkin swirl. 
  • Take the pumpkin swirl and add ½ tablespoon to each muffin pan.
  • Add remaining cheesecake mixture to the muffin pan.
  • Add the remaining pumpkin swirl on top of each individual cheesecake.
  • Take a toothpick and swirl through each individual cheesecake until you get a nice swirl.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes.
