Make these healthy no-bake pumpkin cheesecakes for your next party or gathering. These mini cheesecakes can be made ahead of time and are already portioned out, so they're easy to serve.

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup graham cracker crumbs (about 5 sheets)

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 1 tablespoon honey

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

  • ½ cup nonfat cottage cheese

  • 4 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese, at room temperature

  • ½ cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt

  • ½ cup unseasoned pumpkin puree

  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar

  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with silicone liners (or use paper liners, then coat with cooking spray).

  2. Mix graham cracker crumbs, oil, honey and butter in a medium bowl. Fill each prepared cup with about 1 tablespoon of the mixture. Pat down with the back of a spoon or clean fingers. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

  3. Meanwhile, combine cottage cheese, cream cheese, yogurt, pumpkin, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice and vanilla in a food processor; process until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.

  4. Divide the filling evenly among the cups, about 2 tablespoons each, spreading with a spoon or offset spatula to smooth. Freeze for at least 2 hours and up to 2 days. Remove the cheesecakes from the muffin tin; remove the liners and transfer the cheesecakes to a plate or serving tray. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
