These are basically a healthy pumpkin cheesecake that uses yogurt instead of cream cheese (and it’s no bake!)
These lil pumpkin cheesecake bites are pumpkiny, creamy, require minimal effort, and won’t produce the same level of guilt as will the other pies at the pie table this holiday season. I mean I don’t even feel guilty…and I ate all of them. So, there’s that.
Pumpkin Yogurt Bites
These Pumpkin Yogurt Bites are a healthy autumn dessert. Packed with pumpkin spice, gingersnaps, and butterscotch, they’re delectably delicious and perfect for bringing along to gatherings.
Ingredients
Filling
- 1 15-oz can pumpkin puree, 425 g
- 1 cup nonfat Greek yogurt, 227 g
- 1 3.5-oz pkg butterscotch pudding, 99 g, the cook and serve variety
- ⅛ tsp ground nutmeg, .5 g
- ½ tsp ground ginger, 1 g
- 1 tsp cinnamon, 2.5 g
- ⅛ tsp ground cloves, .5 g
Crust
- 2 cups gingersnap cookie crumbs, 300 g
- 4 Tbsp butter, 60 g, melted
Topping
- 2 Tbsp caramel sauce, or enough to thoroughly drizzle
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, bring pumpkin, yogurt, and butterscotch pudding mix to medium heat, stirring frequently. Cook for about 10 minutes, then remove from heat. Mix in spices and set aside.
- Use a food processor to crush gingersnap cookies into fine crumbs, or place cookies in a plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin. Mix gingersnap crumbs and melted butter. The mixture should stick together very loosely when pressed together.
- Line muffin tin wells with muffin cup papers or grease well. Spoon a hefty bit of the crumb mixture into each well. With clean fingers, press so mixture firmly lines the bottom and halfway up the sides of each well.
- Dollop a spoonful of the pumpkin mixture into each well, being careful not to break the crumb crust as you gently spread the pumpkin so it is even with the top of the muffin paper.
- Set in fridge for about an hour, then drizzle with caramel sauce and enjoy!

did you make this?Leave a comment below and tag @liveeatlearn on social media! I love seeing what you’ve made!
How the heck did you do that video?! Love it. Your photos are bomb dot com too. This recipe is great – such good vitamin A in pumpkin. My son will love these!
Hi Chrissa! It’s a gif! I tested out so so so many different gif generating sites and finally found http://gifcreator.me. It just puts together a series of photos! 90% of the time that I make these it’s purely chance that the photos flow together so well!Thanks so much for stopping by! Let me know if you try out the recipe 🙂
Those look really good! And I can’t believe someone would actually go up to people and yell about them “taking up space”. I love your responses though; although, I know that if I say those it’s gonna sound sarcastic, haha. =P
I think those responses would be BETTER sarcastic actually! Sarcasm is an art, after all 🙂
So glad I found you on FB! Awesome recipe, I wrote it down already to try over the holidays. I am constantly searching for homemade sweets (healthy versions :)). Thank you for this and looking forward to future posts 🙂

Hi Deniza! Thanks so much! Please let me know how it turns out and happy holiday cooking!!
The happiness thieves would have rued the day they opened their soup slippers had your Big Fat Daddy been there. Pumpkin Bites look awesome.
Haha thanks Dad 🙂 Karma will catch up with em! And we’ll have to make these when I’m home!
These look so good! I love pumpkin everything so I will definitely be making these!

Thanks Molly! I wasn’t sure if pumpkin season ended at Halloween or Thanksgiving, but I think we can stretch it through December, yeah? Let me know how it goes! 🙂
It’s crazy how adults think it is acceptable to bully others. They must have something going on in their lives and decided to take it out on a kind stranger.
Anyways, the recipe looks delicious! I’ll be pinning this!
Exactly, I gave them the benefit of the doubt and am just assuming they’ve got a lot of bad juju going on in their lives. Perhaps I should have just offered them some pumpkin yogurt bites to make their day a little happier 🙂
I love mini desserts. These will be great on holiday dessert buffet. Your responses to bullies are good. It’s so bizarre that people think it’s OK to spew venom on people… I wonder how that man would feel if some yelled at his daughter like that. And if he would have been so quick to berate a man sitting alone… Good that you could shake it off…
Thanks Mary! Yea once you realize the core of why someone is acting the way they are, it’s a lot easier to shake off their insults. Plus having a fridge full of pumpkin bites to go home to helps.
These look so delicious! I love good looking sweet treats and these sound healthy, too. Pinned! Thanks for sharing
Thanks so much Julia! 🙂
You made me laugh with your responses! I can’t wait to try them… No, really I’d rather not be in a situation that would demand a response like that but I’ll remember them 🙂 And the bites are so cute – little cheesecakes 🙂 Pumpkin and caramel combo is just to die for!
Haha right? Now I’m hoping I’ll see them again so I can be like “Hey! I have a comeback now!”, and then hit em with the one about being insecure and unfulfilled. Take that bullies! But anyways, I hope you’ll try them out (both the pumpkin bites and the comebacks!) 🙂
DDo I prepare the pudding or put it in dry?
Great question, Jo! Just mix it in dry. Enjoy! 😀
