Individual Pumpkin Cheesecakes

Submitted by Ducky

"Found this recipe in the coupon insert of my Sunday paper, on the page with a coupon for Karo syrup and Argo corn starch. The picture looks really good and it sounds easy enough that I might just try it for Thanksgiving. Some of the garnishes pictured include raspberries, cherries, praline and a chocolate with pecans. Times do not include chill time."

I made this recipe for Thanksgiving and had to sample one already. This recipe is very quick, easy and VERY delicious. I had a little trouble getting the cakes out of the muffin pan while they were hot. My gingersnaps were a little too big for the muffin pan so some of the cheesecake went underneath the cooke, but still tastes great.

I found this recipe in my Sunday paper, and made it for my family that afternoon....it was a big hit and my family has asked me to make it for Thanksgiving instead of Pumpkin Pie....Very easy to make and keeps well, you should try it is very good...

i tried this recipe and was very disapointed. the cheesecakes were soggy and bland. I would try adding some sour cream to give it a bit of a zing. That might make them better. My teenage kids ate them but i wouldn't try serving them at a party.
