Mini pumpkin cheesecake help?

I have a unique problem--need to make a Thanksgiving dessert that is egg, nut, and wheat free to accommodate some allergies in my family. I think I've decided on pumpkin cheesecake in a mini muffin pan, crustless, with egg substitute.

I know this will likely change the bake time, so how long should I bake for? I have some free time today and want to make a sample batch.

Thanks!

    make sure the egg substitute is suitable for baking. Other than that, like all pumpkin pies, do the knife test to check for doneness.

    It shouldn't do too much, but just do a toothpick test, mini cheesecakes also cook much faster than big ones and they may be hard to get out of the pan (use a liner).

    Also look at: http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/ for tons of other dessert ideas that might help you with variety.

    There are some pumpkin recipes if you check the search function. One of them is a pumpkin custard which might just suit your bill very well... I don't remember what it was entitled, but search pumpkin and custard and that should work.
