In an effort to change things up and exercise portion control, this year we’re celebrating Thanksgiving with individual mason jar Pumpkin Cheesecakes. While I’m only half joking about the portion control, I just knew I wanted to do a dessert in these darling mini mason jars when I first spied them. And these cheesecakes are the perfect Holiday treat for them, light, fluffy and bursting with seasonal flavours.
Now before you convince yourself that making mini cheesecakes is going to be too much work, I assure it’s not. It’s the same process as a regular cheesecake, with just a few extra minutes required to fill the jars individually. Since mason jars lend themselves to a rustic feel, no skill or perfection required! And let’s be honest, individual servings instantly make a dessert appear so much fancier than it is 😉 However, if you don’t have mini mason jars, I’ve included steps to make a regular 9-inch cake as well, I wouldn’t want you to miss out!
