Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 24 muffin cups with foil liners.
Step 2
Make crust: Crush graham crackers and 2 tablespoons ground ginger together in a resealable plastic bag; pour into a bowl. Add melted butter and mix with a fork or pastry blender until blended.
Step 3
Scoop 1 tablespoon graham cracker mixture into the base of each prepared muffin cup. Use a spoon or shot glass to flatten the bottom and press mixture slightly up the sides of the liners.
Step 4
Make filling: Beat cream cheese, white sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Add pumpkin puree and mix until well combined. Mix in cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Divide filling evenly among the muffin cups.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until tops are smooth and cupcakes jiggle slightly when moved, about 15 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
Step 6
While the cupcakes are baking, make topping: Stir sour cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla together in a bowl until smooth. Refrigerate until needed.
Step 7
Dollop frosting over cooled cupcakes and sprinkle with cinnamon.
