Pumpkin Spice Latte Cheesecake {No Bake}

Yup, I went there. One of my favourite fall drinks crossed with one of my favourite desserts!  Since I made a double batch of the Pumpkin Spice Syrup from Sugarcrafter.net for the Pumpkin Spice Latte's, I decided to see what else I could whip up with it.  I saw a recipe on the Philadelphia website for a no bake pumpkin cheesecake and realized that it could only get better with the addition of the syrup and some expresso!

I added the syrup and the expresso to taste, so feel free to add more or less of each as you mix it up, it's all about what you like!

I decided to portion the cheesecake into some small jars because, well, desserts just look cute in these jars!  If you want to make a whole cheesecake, you can make the filling and pour it into a graham pie crust and it should fit perfectly.

This recipe was adapted from the Philadelphia No-Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake recipe, and makes enough for 6 jars.

1. Combine the melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, and 1/2 tbsp sugar in a bowl (if not using a pre-made graham pie crust)
