Frequently asked questions:
What size of a muffin tin to use?
Normally, we use a regular-sized muffin tin. However, you can use mini muffin tins if you cut the recipe in half. But in the case of using a mini muffin tin, descrease the baking time by 20 minutes.
Can this recipe be made in advance?
Yes, you can make the pumpkin cheesecake bites in advance by wrapping the baked and cooled crust in a tight foil and refrigerate the filling after mixing it. When you are ready to eat it, just add the filling to the crust, bake and enjoy.
Ways to store the pumpkin cheesecake?
By simply putting them in the refrigerator for up to a week. Make sure they are covered. You can also freeze them after tightly wrapping them in plastic wrap or foil.
