Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 24 muffin cups with foil liners. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Make the crust: In a resealable plastic bag, crush graham crackers and ginger until finely ground. Pour into a medium bowl and mix with melted butter using a fork or pastry blender until well combined. Scoop 1 tablespoon of the mixture into each prepared muffin cup, pressing it firmly and slightly up the sides of the liners. (15 minutes)

03

Step

Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, white sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer until creamy. Add pumpkin puree and mix until well combined. Incorporate cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Evenly distribute the filling among the muffin cups. (20 minutes)

04

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until the tops are smooth and the cupcakes jiggle slightly when nudged, approximately 15 minutes. Allow them to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. (25 minutes)

05

Step

Prepare the frosting: In a bowl, stir together sour cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Refrigerate until needed. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, dollop frosting over each and sprinkle with a touch of ground cinnamon. (10 minutes)

For a deeper flavor, toast the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter in a skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes before pressing into the muffin cups.
Ensure cream cheese is fully softened to prevent lumps in the filling.
To prevent cracking, cool the cupcakes slowly. You can even turn off the oven after baking and let them sit inside with the door ajar for 30 minutes before cooling at room temperature.
Frosting can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped pecans or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra touch of indulgence.
