• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup whipping cream optional

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F
   
2. Combine melted butter, crushed graham crackers, sugar, and 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice in a small bowl. Mix until well combined.
   
3. Place 12 cupcake liners into a cupcake pan. Evenly divide the graham cracker mixture amongst the 12 cupcakes. Press down until firm at the bottom.
   
4. In a bowl of a standing mixer, add softened cream cheese, pumpkin, and sugar. Mix on medium until well combined.
   
5. Add in remaining teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice and cornstarch. Mix again on medium speed.
   
6. Turn mixer to low speed and add in the eggs. Mix just until combined.
   
7. Evenly divide the mixture into the 12 cupcake liners.
   
8. Bake in oven for 25-30 minutes.
   
9. Remove cheesecakes from oven and allow to cool to room temperature. Then place them in the refrigerator until they are chilled.
   
10. *Optional - if you would like to top them with fresh whipped cream, pour the 1/2 cup whipping cream into the bowl of a standing mixer. Place the cream filled bowl into the freezer for 5 minutes so it gets cold. Then place the bowl on the stand mixer and mix on high speed until whipped cream forms.
