Ingredients You'll Need
Cheesecake Bites
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
6 tablespoons melted butter
16 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
Caramel Sauce
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F.
In a small bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a lined 8x8 inch baking pan and bake for 10 minutes.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar together until smooth. Add in the eggs, one at a time, and mix until fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Divide the mixture in half, and add the pumpkin puree, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger to one half of the mixture. Stir until well combined.
Pour the pumpkin cheesecake mixture over the graham cracker crust, then spoon the plain cheesecake mixture on top. Use a butter knife to swirl the two mixtures together.
Bake for 30 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden and the center is just set. Let cool for 10 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
To make the caramel sauce, heat the granulated sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is dissolved, then let the mixture come to a boil. Without stirring, let the mixture cook for about 10 minutes, until it turns a deep amber color. Remove from heat and carefully add in the heavy cream, butter, and sea salt. Stir until smooth.
Drizzle the caramel sauce over the cheesecake bites before serving. Enjoy!
