After Thanksgiving dinner, everyone is usually way too full for dessert.  But you just can’t resist having something, right?  These Pumpkin Cheesecake Shooters from Skinnytaste give you a small taste of something sweet, and they’re also adorable!

I followed the recipe as written, and was able to make the filling ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator.  Of course, I had to try it out to make sure it was acceptable for our guests.  The pumpkin cheesecake was really good, but next time I would increase the amount of pureed pumpkin for a more intense flavor.

A few hours before serving, I piped the filling and whipped topping into the glasses using the tried-and-true Ziploc bag with the corner snipped.  We tried out a few different sized glasses including a regular shot glass, a larger cordial glass, and limoncello glasses.

You really don’t need to buy any special glasses; use whatever you have around.  Just remember that if you use a really narrow glass, you also have to provide spoons that can reach the bottom!

These are a fun option for Thanksgiving dinner.  And if you’re lucky enough to have a few leftover, you can feel very fancy enjoying one the next day after your turkey sandwich.  🙂
