Delicious ingredients to make Ellenos Pumpkin Pie Mini Cheesecakes

Ingredients:

Yield: One dozen (12)

Graham Cracker Crust

  • Graham Crackers — 12 squares
  • Butter — 6 Tbsp melted

Pumpkin Pie Filling

  • Ellenos Pumpkin Pie Yogurt — 3 containers (~20oz total)
  • Whole eggs — 3
  • Sugar — 1/3 cup

As with any baking endeavor, preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit before diving in!

  1. Let’s begin with prepping our crust.
    • Take 12 graham crackers and crumble them by putting them in a Ziplock bag and roll a rolling pin over them to get that nice crumble.
    • If you don’t have a rolling pin, anything cylindrical with a hard surface works, too! Transfer those crumbs into a mixing bowl and incorporate melted butter until evenly distributed and mixed.
  2. Now, grab a muffin pan, and press the graham cracker crust into the bottom of the pans. We got a little crafty ourselves and simply used the bottom of a drinking glass or a measuring cup to press the crumbs into shape!
  3. Set those aside when you’ve prepped 12 mini crusts, and let’s get started on our pumpkin pie filling. In a separate bowl, combine your 3 eggs, 1/3 cup of sugar, and the yogurt portion of our Pumpkin Pie Ellenos together (save the puree for later!).
  4. Pour the pumpkin pie mixture into the crusts/pan, it should be a nice, smooth consistency. Here’s where you can get fancy: add the pumpkin puree from the Pumpkin Pie Ellenos you saved from earlier.
    • We suggest putting a small dollop on top, then using a toothpick to swirl a design as desired. Channel your inner pâtissier!
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Allow your mini cheesecakes to cool on the counter until they reach room temperature, then cover and transfer to the refrigerator to chill for 3-4 hours.
  6. When you’re ready to indulge, sprinkle the topping from your Ellenos Pumpkin Pie Yogurt cup!

And, as always, Ellenos is meant to be shared so grab a friend and enjoy!
