- Prepare 8 baking cups or panettone baking cups (I used 2 3/8 x 2 Inch ) or mini springform pan.
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, cinnamon and melted butter. Stir until well combined.
- Press evenly in the paper cups with shot glass, to make firm layer. Chill in the fridge whilst you do the rest!
- In a medium bowl, with an electric mixer, beat the heavy whipping cream to stiff peaks.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy.
- Add in pumpkin puree, vanilla, and pumpkin pie spice and mix until fully incorporated. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the whipped cream until well blended and no streaks remain.

- Garnish with additional whipped cream, salted caramel sauce, Graham cracker crumbs and/or chopped pecans before serving.
