Delightful personal cheesecakes! My daughter requested these from a Rachel Ray magazine for her girl scout troup on her birthday, BIG hit! Fairly easy to make, but everyone will marvel at your amazing baking talents... only you will know how simple they really were :)
Ingredients:
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 egg white
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup pumpkin puree
2 eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350, and line a 12 cup muffin tin with baking liners.
2. Using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese with powdered sugar for 3 minutes. Beat in egg white and 1/2 tsp vanilla, mix well.
3. In a seperate bowl whisk flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder and salt.
4. In another bowl beat together pumpkin puree, 2 eggs, granulated sugar, oil and 1 tsp vanilla. Whisk in the flour mixture.
5. Layer some of the batter in the bottom of the baking cups, then a layer of the cream cheese mixture, then top with another layer of pumpkin miture.
6. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes, until the tops are springy. The original recipe calls for icing- but I think they're delightful as is!
