Pumpkin Mini Cheesecakes

Adapted from a newspaper recipe
Recipe Introduction
For anyone who loves pumpkin-anything (as I do), these little gems are a real treat! They are "their own thing" - not too much like pumpkin pie, not too much like cheesecake, just a really nice balance between the two.
List of Ingredients
24 gingersnap cookies
24 paper cupcake liners
Filling:
12 oz of cream cheese
3/4 cup of brown sugar
1/3 cup molasses
2 eggs
1 cup of canned pumpkin
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 T corn starch
2 tsp of cinnamon
1/2 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp cloves
1/2 tsp kosher salt (1/4 tsp if using regular salt)
Recipe
Preheat oven to 325. Using two 12-cup muffin tins (so you'll have 24 total), line each cup with a paper liner. Drop a whole gingersnap into the bottom of each liner.
In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese until soft and creamy. Add the remaining ingredients and blend well, scraping the bowl a couple times with a rubber spatula. Transfer the filling to a large measuring cup with a pour spout (makes for easier filling of the muffin tins). Divide the batter among the 24 prepared muffin cups.
Bake at 325 for 30-35 minutes, just until set. Allow to cool to room temp, then refrigerate to chill thoroughly.
Makes 24 mini cheesecakes.
