Ingredients

Spiced Cheesecake Filling:

· 8 oz cream cheese

· ½ cup Purecane™ Confectioners Sweetener

· 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

· 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

· ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg

· ⅛ teaspoon ground cardamom

· ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt

· 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Graham Crust Layer Ingredients:

· ½ cup graham crackers (crushed)

· ¼ cup pecans (finely chopped)

· 3-4 tablespoons melted butter (can use olive oil)

Assembly Ingredients:

· Whipped Cream

· Graham crackers (crushed)

· Optional: star anise (whole), cinnamon sticks, fresh rosemary

Directions

To make the crust layer, simply mix the crushed graham crackers and pecans in a large bowl. Add the melted butter, then stir until ingredients are evenly distributed. Set aside.
To make the cheesecake filling, beat the cream cheese until smooth in a stand mixer.
Add in the Purecane™ Confectioners Sweetener, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, and salt. Mix until well-combined. Set aside.
In a separate mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks (about 3-4 minutes).
Add half of the whipped cream into the cream cheese bowl, folding until smooth and well-combined. Repeat with the remaining whipped cream until a very smooth and silky texture.
To assemble, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of the graham crust mixture into a mini serving cup, then a generous dollop of the cheesecake filling. Top with more whipped cream and crushed graham crackers. Optional to garnish with a star anise and/or cinnamon stick and fresh rosemary!
TIP: Best if made at least one hour in advance to serving. Let chill in the fridge until ready to serve.
Serve and enjoy!
