Method
Step 1 – Make the Crust
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line muffin pan with cupcake liners.
- Mix graham cracker crumbs, 2 tbsp sugar, and melted butter until combined.
- Press 1–2 tbsp into each liner to form crust. Bake 5 minutes.
Step 2 – Prepare the Cheesecake Batter
- Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add remaining sugar, mixing well.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then sour cream, vanilla, salt, and pumpkin spice.
- Mix until creamy and lump-free.
Step 3 – Bake the Cheesecakes
- Divide batter evenly among muffin cups.
- Bake 18–20 minutes, until centers are set but slightly jiggly.
- Cool in pan 30 minutes, then refrigerate at least 3 hours.
Step 4 – Decorate with Jack’s Face
- Once chilled, remove liners.
- Using edible food marker or black gel icing, draw Jack Skellington faces: round eyes, stitched smile, and tiny nostrils.
- Serve chilled for a spooky treat!
