- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- For the filling:
- 2 8-ounce packages of cream cheese, softened
- 2/3 cup sugar ( Use more or less according to your taste)
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup toffee bits
