Individual Pumpkin Cheesecakes

Need one 24-cup mini muffin tin, paper cups to fit

Prepare Crusts:

•             2 cups of Gingersnap cookies

•             1/3 cup diced pecans

•             3 ½ table spoons of melted butter

•             2 tablespoons sugar

Process Gingerbread cookies in food processor or blender. Pour into a bowl, add the sugar and pecans and stir to blend. Add the melted butter and whisk until butter is absorbed.

Drop a rounded teaspoon into the bottom of each mini muffin cup. Press down with fingers or back of spoon.

Bake for 4 minutes at 325-degrees.

For the filling:

Option One:

•             1 package of Philadelphia Cream Cheese, brought to room temperature.

Or

•             1 package Jell-O, No-Bake Cheesecake mix

•             One pint (2 cups) of Yogurtland Pumpkin Pie Frozen Yogurt

Whip cream cheese or Jell-O No-Bake Cheesecake mix with Yogurtland Pumpkin frozen Yogurt until soft.

Spoon a rounded tablespoon into cooled Gingerbread cups (can use one gallon zip-lock bag with corner cut). Top each cup with pecan a half.

Freeze for 30 minutes and serve immediately.

Low Fat Fudge Brownie or Banana Bread Smoothie
