Ingredients (Makes 12 servings)

✅ 1 cup fat-free Greek yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
✅ 1 (8 oz) block fat-free cream cheese, softened
✅ 1 cup pure pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
✅ 1/2 cup sugar-free maple syrup (or preferred sugar substitute)
✅ 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
✅ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
✅ 12 reduced-fat vanilla wafers (optional but adds a nice base!)
✅ Light whipped topping for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.

2️⃣ Prepare the Crust (Optional): Place one vanilla wafer at the bottom of each muffin cup.

3️⃣ Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the Greek yogurt, pumpkin puree, sugar-free maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Beat until creamy and well combined.

4️⃣ Fill the Cups: Evenly distribute the pumpkin cheesecake mixture into each muffin cup, filling each about ¾ full.

5️⃣ Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes or until set. The centers should be slightly jiggly but will firm up as they cool.

6️⃣ Cool & Chill: Let the cheesecake cups cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours (overnight is ideal for the best flavor!).

7️⃣ Serve: Top with a small dollop of light whipped topping and a sprinkle of extra pumpkin pie spice for added flavor.
