Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups (150 g) crushed graham crackers or Biscoff cookies
- ¼ cup (55 g) melted unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream
- ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup (240 ml) pumpkin puree

- ¼ cup (50 g) brown sugar

- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- Mini Oreos or chocolate cookies

Instructions
- Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until combined. Press lightly into the bottom of serving glasses. Reserve some crumbs for the top layer.
- In a bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Add heavy cream and whip until light and fluffy. Spoon or pipe a layer over the crumbs.
- In another bowl, whisk pumpkin puree, brown sugar, pumpkin spice, and vanilla. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream to soft peaks and fold it gently into the pumpkin mixture. Add a layer of this mousse on top of the cheesecake cream.
- Repeat the layers: crumbs → cheesecake → pumpkin mousse. Finish with a swirl of pumpkin mousse and sprinkle of reserved crumbs.
- Top each cup with mini Oreos, pumpkin candies, and ghost toppers for a playful Halloween touch.
