Delicious parve (non-dairy) cheesecake minis with an unusual twist. Creamy pumpkin pie filling atop a chocolate cookie crumb base, topped off with a dollop of whipped topping. Yum! And best of all, you can serve this dessert after a meat meal!   If you’re looking for a dairy cheesecake, try these amaretto cheesecake bites by Rivky Kleiman.

Hi, i have a few questions about this recipe:

  1. I am unclear if I should use a standard muffin tin or a mini muffin tin. It seems to me like a sandwich cookie would not fit in a mini muffin tin. Can you clarify?
  2. Can I use vanilla cookies instead of chocolate?
  3. Can I freeze them?

Hi Basya,

  1. Best to use mini muffin tins for this recipe- sandwich cookies are pretty small so should fit. You can also buy mini sandwich cookies or crumble them up to fit in the muffin tin.
  2. For sure
  3. Yes and yes 😀 You can also serve them cold (frozen cheesecake is delicious)
