Adorable mini pumpkin cheesecakes with Oreo cookie crusts are a delicious small treat. Top with chocolate spiderwebs for Halloween or sugared cranberries for Thanksgiving.

Things are starting to look very Halloween-y. Our costumes are all picked out: the girls are going to be Tinkerbell and a Bumble Bee. Last year they were the cutest little leopards ever.

I had half a can of pumpkin in the fridge just begging me to make a pumpkin cheesecake. But a whole cheesecake for our small family is just too much. So we made mini versions with an “Oreo” crust. I kept 4 out for dessert, and froze the rest for later. They were easy to make (no crust to make!) and got us into the Halloween spirit.
