Mini Pumpkin Cheesecakes are the perfect dessert for any fall celebration! They combine all the flavors of pumpkin pie in a delicious bite-sized treat.

These pumpkin cheesecakes start with a sweet graham cracker crust and are filled with pumpkin cheesecake, whipped cream, and a sprinkle of cinnamon on top.

And best of all, they combine two holiday favorites – pumpkin pie and cheesecake – in one awesome mini cheesecake dessert that’s sure to be a  favorite!

I partnered with Pick ‘n Save to bring you this recipe. Thank you for supporting the brands that make Lemon Tree Dwelling possible!

Does anyone else come from a family like mine? Where the dessert table is always at least as big as the meal? Seriously. I have never once been to a family holiday where there was only one dessert option. Usually it’s more like 3 or 4….and sometimes even more.

There’s no hiding the fact that my family is dessert obsessed….which is both amazing and also incredibly dangerous. Because sometimes you just can’t choose between them. Cheesecake vs. pumpkin pie? That’s definitely NOT a decision I want to have to make. And with these mini pumpkin cheesecakes, you don’t have to!

They’re mini so you can still enjoy the rest of what’s being offered. And pumpkin + cheesecake because BOTH are necessary elements of a holiday dessert table!

These mini cheesecakes really are the best of both worlds. They combine all the flavors of pumpkin pie in a rich, creamy cheesecake. And let’s not forget about that graham cracker crust. Top them with whipped cream and cinnamon and you literally have the ULTIMATE holiday dessert…in bite sized form.

And you can find everything you need to make these little cheesecake bites at Pick ‘n Save. From the graham cracker crumbs to the Smidge & Spoon sugar to the Roundy’s eggs, produced right here in Wisconsin.

I love the fact that Pick ‘n Save is a one stop shop and that they always have everything I need. With the holidays quickly approaching….it’s exactly what I need!
