No Bake Pumpkin Cheesecakes

If you like cheesecake, these were soooooo good.

16 Biscoff cookies, finely crushed
2 T. butter, melted
1 2/3 c. heavy cream, divided
8 oz. cold cream cheese
2 T. caramel ice cream topping
6 T. packed brown sugar
1/2 t. vanilla
1/2 t. cinnamon
1/4 t. nutmeg
1/4 t. ginger
1 pinch ground cloves
1 c. pumpkin puree, chilled

In a mixing bowl or food processor blend together butter and crushed Biscoff cookies.  Divide mixture among 6 small cups and gently press into an even layer.  In a mixing bowl, using a hand mixer, whip 1 c. heavy cream until stiff peaks form.  In a separate mixing bowl, whip cream cheese with caramel sauce until smooth, then blend in brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cloves and whip until sugar has dissolved and mixture is fluffy.  fold in pumpkin puree, then fold in whipped heavy cream.  Pipe or spoon pumpkin cheesecake mixture over cookin crum layer in cups, then whip remaining 2/'3 c.heavy cream until stiff peaks form and pipe or dollop over tops.  Drizzle each with caramel sauce and serve.  YUMMMMM!!!

Just my thought:  you might need a little sugar in the whip cream so you don't make butter.

Cookies

· 1c Unsalted Butter Softened
· 1 1/4c Sugar
· 3/4c Powdered sugar
· 2/4c Vegetable Oil
· 2Tbsp cream
· 2 Eggs Room Temperature
· 1/2Tsp Cream of Tarter
· 1 1/2Tsp Salt
· 2c Unsweetened Coconut
· 5 1/2c Flour
Frosting
· 6c Powdered Sugar
· 6Tbsp Unsalted butter softened
· 4Tbsp Lime Juice
· 10Tbsp Cream
· 1/2Tsp vanilla extract
· 1 1/2Tbsp Lime Zest + more for topping (I would purchase 7-9 limes)

Directions
· Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
· While oven is heating, toast the coconut. On medium heat, place the coconut in a large saucepan or skillet so it covers the bottom of the pan. Using a wooden spoon, stir the coconut around as it begins to brown. Keep stirring until the coconut is a nice even golden brown. Remove from heat and pour the coconut into a bowl. Divide in half. One cup will go into the batter and one cup will be used for the topping.
· In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time beating well between each one. Add the oil and cream and mix until it’s all combined.
· In a separate bowl, mix the baking soda, cream of tarter, salt, 1 cup of the toasted coconut and flour. Whisk together. Turn the mixer on low and gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet. The dough will be very thick and will not be very sticky like a traditional cookie dough.
· Roll dough into large golf sized balls. Place evenly on a cookie sheet. Approx, 3 across. Pour some sugar onto a plate. Using a dish cloth, lightly wet the bottom of the glass, just so when pressed into the sugar, the sugar will stick to it. Take the sugared glass and press down to flatten the cookies and give them a rough edge. Repeat dipping the glass every other cookie (you will not need to re-wet the glass once you start pressing the cookies.
· Bake cookies for 8-10 minutes. Once done, remove from the oven. Let cool on the pan for a few minutes then remove and place onto a wire rack.
For the Frosting
· In a stand mixer, fitted with a paddle attachment or a strong hand mixer, combine the powdered sugar, butter (make sure it really is soft so it will blend in), lime juice, cream and vanilla. Add in lime zest.

· Frost the cookies once they have cooled and sprinkle with the extra toasted coconut and lime.
