    Ingredients

    • Pecan Crust:
    • 2 cups whole pecans
    • 2 tablespoon butter, melted
    • 2 tablespoon brown sugar
    • 1 teaspoon flaked sea salt
    • Pumpkin Cheesecake Filling:
    • 1 (8 ounce) brick cream cheese, room temperature
    • 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
    • 1/2 cup yogurt (such as Yoplait Pumpkin Pie Yogurt)
    • 1/2 cup sugar
    • 1/2 cup brown sugar
    • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    • pinch of ground cloves
    • 4 cups whipped cream, divided

    Directions

    1. 1Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
    2. 2Spread out pecans in an even layer on a baking sheet. Toast for about 5-7 minutes until fragrant. Remove from oven.
    3. 3Reserve about 8 pecans to top the cheesecakes if desired. Then crumble the rest by hand or in a food processor. Toss together the crumbled pecans with the melted butter, brown sugar and sea salt until combined. Then portion the pecan "crust" evenly into your serving dishes or ramekins, and press down lightly to flatten. (I used about 2 tablespoons per serving dish.)
    4. 4To make the filling, use a food processor or electric mixer to whip the cream cheese until smooth. Add in the pumpkin puree, yogurt, sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves, and continue mixing until smooth. (Although a few little lumps are ok!)
    5. 5Fold in *2 cups* of the whipped cream by hand, combining until smooth. Then use a pastry bag or a spoon to portion the filling evenly into your serving dishes.
    6. 6Top with the remaining whipped cream, and if desired, your reserved pecans. Serve immediately, or refrigerate up to 2 hours.

    I also made these forThanksgiving! They were SO good! I love cheesecake but don't really care for pumpkin, but I loved these. So delicious. Quick and easy too. Other cheesecakes seem to take half a day to make.... This is for sure a new holiday dessert to be eaten at our Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners!

    I made these for our Thanksgiving dessert and had rave reviews! My grandmother (age 86) commented that she thought it may have been the best thing that she had ever eaten. Could not find flaked sea salt so I subbed it with kosher salt and it worked well.
