Ingredients

  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • 4 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup canned solid-pack pumpkin
  • 1 tablespoon sour cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 dash ground cloves
  • 1 dash ground nutmeg
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Reddi-wip(R) Original Dairy Whipped Topping
  • Ground cinnamon (optional)

Method

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (or to 300 degrees F if using dark nonstick pan). Place paper liners in 24 miniature muffin cups.
  • Crust: Place walnuts and 4 teaspoons sugar in food processor; pulse until finely ground. Add melted butter and pulse until combined. Press 1 teaspoon walnut mixture firmly into bottom of each prepared muffin cup. Bake 5 minutes. Cool.
  • Filling: Place cream cheese and remaining 1/2 cup sugar in large bowl. Beat with electric mixer on medium speed until creamy. Add pumpkin, sour cream, vanilla, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg; beat until well blended. Add egg, beating on low speed just until blended. Spoon evenly over crusts.
  • Bake 20 minutes or until centers are almost set. Cool completely in pan, about 30 minutes. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or until chilled. Top with the Reddi-wip just before serving. Sprinkle with additional cinnamon, if desired.
