10 Ways to Indulge this Holiday Season

Welcome to Our Home for the Holidays

We start to deck the halls early in our home. We like to have every room decorated so we can savor the season. My favorite is a tree in my bedroom where I can go to sleep under the twilight of the lights and wake up to see all the pretty ornaments. Ava Rose loves to decorate and we make each moment special. This year we will be decorating a house for the Dickens Festival in Port Jefferson as well as decorating our store so we are busy little elves. Just wanted to share a few photos with you.

Mini Pumpkin Cheesecake

Delights!

Prep Time: 1 hour, 30 minutes

Total Time: 1 hour, 30 minutes

Yield: 10 servings (using a 9-ounce clear plastic cup for serving)

Ingredients

For the crust
• 1 sleeve graham crackers (about 9 crackers)
• ½ stick (4 tablespoons) butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
For the filling
• 1 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened to room temperature
• 1 15-ounce can pumpkin puree
• 3 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
• 1 1-ounce package sugar free cheesecake-flavored instant pudding mix (or 1/3 of a non-sugar free instant pudding may be used)
• 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 12-ounce container frozen whipped topping, plus extra for garnish if desired

Instructions

1. Place the graham crackers in the bowl of a food processor and pulse the crackers into fine crumbs. Add the melted butter, sugar and brown sugar and pulse until combined.
2. Spoon the crumbs into individual 9-ounce plastic cups (or other individual sized cups for serving). Place in the refrigerator to set while you are preparing the filling.
3. In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese until light and creamy.
4. Add the pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice, and pudding mix and beat until completely mixed, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure that all ingredients are well combined.
5. Add the sweetened condensed milk and mix again until well combined.
6. Change your stand mixture attachment to the wire whisk. On slow speed, fold in the tub of Cool Whip until well combined.
7. Allow the mixture to sit in the refrigerator for about an hour to firm up.
8. Using a large pastry bag with a large tip, or a spoon, top the graham cracker crust in each cup with the pumpkin mixture and refrigerate until ready to serve.
9. Garnish with additional whipped topping if desired.
