These Skinny Pumpkin Cheesecake Bites are both cute and delicious. Seriously SO good! If you try any of my recipes, let this be the one because they’re that amazing.
Ever since I started making all these holiday treats, I’ve had tons of leftovers that I’m not sure what to do with. If anything, these are the perfect leftovers. You can easily pack them as a perfect little dessert at lunch or grab one after dinner. I love anything bite size I can just grab and eat. When you have a traditional pumpkin cheesecake or pie, you have to dirty a plate, fork and knife. So, if you’re like me and don’t enjoy doing dishes, this is for you.
They would especially be perfect for a covid safe Friendsgiving.
Friendsgiving is so much fun. If you don’t already know, Friendsgiving is a combination of friends and Thanksgiving. It’s tons of fun to get your friends together and spend some quality time during the holidays. Especially paired with a cocktail or 2… or 3? Possibly 4-5.
Tips for planning Friendsgiving:
1. Make it potluck style! That way you can bring along these cheesecake bites as your dish.
2. Get some cute decor – tall candles, candle holder, some fresh flowers, placemats and games!
3. Do NOT forget the drinks. Try my Apple Cider Moscow Mule for this one.
4. Get to-go containers for people to take home leftovers.
5. Have an appetizer ready for when guests arrive.
6. Go around the table and say what you’re grateful for.
