Thanksgiving is always such an exciting, and busy, week! \u00a0Sometimes there\u2019s more time spent in the kitchen than sitting down and enjoying time with our families. \u00a0So, I like to do most of the cooking and baking in advance, that way I\u2019m not stuck in the kitchen for hours on Thanksgiving Day.<\/p>\n

These mini pumpkin cheesecakes are just the thing for a stress-free holiday! You can make them days ahead of time, leave them in the freezer, and whip them out when it\u2019s dessert time. \u00a0They\u2019ve got a gingersnap cookie crust, and a creamy pumpkin spice cheesecake filling. \u00a0They can be eaten frozen or refrigerated. Either way, they\u2019re good and they\u2019ll save you time in the kitchen.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re definitely having Mini Pumpkin Spice Cheesecakes and these brownies<\/a> at our house this week!<\/p>\n

Wishing you all a blessed, and relaxed, Thanksgiving!<\/p>\n
