Mini desserts are wonderful things. Not only are they automatically cute due to their size, but you will never have to worry about a cake being large enough or whether there will be enough ice cream/gelato to go around, since all you have to do is match up the number of desserts with the number of guests you need to serve. They also provide built-in portion control if you are just making them for yourself. These Mini Pumpkin Cheesecakes, made by Nicole at Pinch My Salt, are a great way to eat a rich dessert without going overboard because indulging in one (or two) is much better than indulging in a whole cake! The pumpkin cheesecakes have a lot of fall flavor since she combined pumpkin with a touch or maple syrup in the filling and used a spiced graham cracker crust for the base. When serving, though it is not pictured, Nicole topped these with whipped cream, lightly sweetened and spiced with cinnamon.
