Description
Mini Pumpkin Pies are adorable, bite-sized desserts filled with spiced pumpkin custard and topped with whipped cream or cinnamon.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package refrigerated pie dough (or homemade if you prefer)
- 1 can (15 oz) pure pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Whipped cream (optional)
- Ground cinnamon (for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini muffin tin lightly or line it with paper liners for easy removal.
- Roll out the pie dough on a lightly floured surface. Using a round cutter, cut out circles slightly larger than the muffin tin cups. Gently press the dough into each muffin cup to form the crusts.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, salt, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and fully combined.
- Spoon the pumpkin filling into each crust, filling each one about 3/4 of the way full. Be sure not to overfill to avoid spillage.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. The filling should be firm to the touch but still slightly soft in the center.
- Allow the pies to cool for a few minutes in the muffin tin before transferring them to a cooling rack. Serve warm or at room temperature, topped with whipped cream and a dusting of cinnamon.
