Pumpkin Pie in a Cup Recipe

Ingredients:

For the pumpkin layer:

• 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
• Pinch of ground cloves
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the cream layer:

• 1/4 cup whipped cream (or store-bought whipped topping)
• 1 tablespoon cream cheese, softened (optional for extra creaminess)
• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional for sweetness)

For the crust layer:

• 1/4 cup crushed graham crackers or ginger snaps
• 1 tablespoon melted butter

Instructions:

1. Make the crust:
   • In a small bowl, mix the crushed graham crackers or ginger snaps with melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
   • Press this mixture into the bottom of your cup or jar.
2. Prepare the pumpkin layer:
   • In a separate bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and vanilla extract until well combined.
   • Spoon the pumpkin mixture over the crust layer.
3. Whip up the cream layer:
   • If using, mix the softened cream cheese with the whipped cream and powdered sugar for extra creaminess. Otherwise, simply spoon or pipe the whipped cream on top of the pumpkin layer.
4. Assemble:
   • Layer the whipped cream on top of the pumpkin layer. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or more crushed cookies.
5. Chill or serve immediately:
   • You can serve it right away for a quick treat, or let it chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
