First – my cookbook preorder is open! Click here for details.
Second – these cheesecakes. This recipe is super easy, only takes a few ingredients, smacks of fall, and makes two single-serve cheesecakes so you can either eat one and save one for later or share with someone!
It took me a few tries to perfect this recipe. My first idea was to make a quickie microwave pumpkin cheesecake, but I quickly learned that I just don’t like microwaved cheesecake. The texture is just blegh. And speaking of texture, using a whole egg in one cheesecake made it…duh…too eggy. I learned this when experimenting with my 5-Ingredient Cheesecakes for Two recipe, which is why I ended up creating a recipe that uses one egg split between two cheesecakes. No problem, because who doesn’t like to have an extra cheesecake to pull out of the fridge for a later dessert emergency? Anyway, it took me awhile to remember this, but when I put to practice what I learned the hard way a long time ago, this pumpkin cheesecake recipe quickly corrected itself and I was in business.
I suppose you could eat this cheesecake warm if you really want to, but warm cheesecake is more like custard than cheesecake. I prefer to refrigerate it until it’s completely chilled, then enjoy. FYI – cheesecake for breakfast is totally legit.
As I’ve noted in the recipe, you can use a little almond meal or flour in the bottom of each ramekin for an easy crust, but they’re just as good without if you want to omit that step to streamline the process. I’ve made them both ways.

I have just found your site! I’m not even sure how, but I’m so glad I did! I have looked, but I can’t find calories, carbs, etc. for the recipes (which are probably somewhere obvious.. sorry!)” Please advise where, and thank you! 🙂
Hi there! Thanks for coming! I provide nutritional info at the bottom of the recipe card on my newer recipes. 🙂 As I have time I’m going back and updating these older recipes.
Do you know how many ounces your ramekins are? Thanks
I’m afraid I don’t, and they’re not marked. 2-cup ramekins usually work well for this size recipe, though. 🙂
I found pumpkin on sale so I am researching recipes. Can you tell me the equivalent amount of Swerve or Truvia
To use? Also I have made a similar plain cheesecake and used eggwhite only. I agree it’s got to be revrigerated. I look forward to your reply.
