Mini pumpkin crumble cheesecake spice with dulce de leche recipe

One of my favorite cakes to bake are cheesecakes because you can make so many different variety with almost the same recipe. These bit size cheesecakes are the bomb! As soon as you bit into them you can taste all the different flavours that fall brings us. The cake it self is nice and light with a crunchy crumble top with a drizzle of dulce de leche. The perfect mariage of flavours in one little cake.
