Ingredients

  • 1 14 oz box refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
  • 1 15 oz can pumpkin puree
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream OR 1 (5 oz ) can evaporated milk
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice plus additional for garnishing
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • Homemade Whipped Cream:
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Rollout pie crusts on a lightly floured non stick surface. Use a 3” cookie or biscuit cutter, to cut out 12 discs.  Re-roll scraps as needed to yield 12.
  • Place rounds into each cup of a standard cupcake pan lightly sprayed with baking spray. Press onto bottom and sides. Flute edges as desired with the tines of a fork. Once all crusts are in place, place into the fridge to chill for 20 minutes, before filling.
  • To bake: Preheat oven to 350°F.  In a medium size mixing bowl whisk together pumpkin, heavy cream, granulated sugar, pumpkin pie spice, salt, vanilla and eggs. Mix well.
  • Divide filling evenly among muffins cups. (Use a small scoop for even distribution)
  • Bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes or just until the centers are set when gently shaken.
  • Cool pies in the pan on a cooling rack. Carefully remove and store chilled for at least 3 hours.
  • To make whipped cream: In a medium-size mixing bowl using an electric mixer, whip together cream, sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks have formed. Add to a piping bag (or a resealable Ziploc bag with the corner snipped off) and pipe little dollops of cream onto each mini pumpkin pie. Dust with additional pumpkin pie spice.
  • Store leftovers chilled in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Notes

To save time, one 8 ounce tub of frozen whipped topping, thawed can be substituted for fresh cream.
