TheseMini Pumpkin Piesare a classic made personal-sized! Flaky pie crust is filled with a warm, creamy, and spiced pumpkin filling. Quick, easy, and perfectly portioned!

This mini pumpkin pie recipe is pretty much your standard pumpkin pie recipe but, well, MINI!

I love the mini pumpkin pies because the crust to filling ratio isperfect! Plus, they’re portioned out for you. No slicing required. Oh and also, they’re ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!

Ingredients

Your standard pumpkin pie recipe, made mini, and with my special blend of spices that are absolutely spot on!

• Pie Dough – I use refrigerated pie dough for super easy prep but if you have a homemade pie dough recipe you love, feel free to use that instead.
• Pumpkin Purée– the MVP of today’s recipe! Use canned 100% pumpkin for ease!
• Condensed Milk– makes the filling rich, creamy, sweet, and delicious.
• Eggs– binds the filling together so the pies can hold their shape with that custard-like texture.
• Vanilla Extract– adds warmth.
• Ground Cinnamon, Ground Ginger, Ground Nutmeg, Ground Cloves, and Salt– a simple homemade pumpkin pie spice that adds so much flavor.
• Cool Whip– for serving!

How to make

Not only are these pumpkin pies absolutely delicious, but they’re so easy to make too — 15 minutes of prep required!

1. Roll out your pie crusts on a clean surface then use a 4.5-inch round cookie cutter to cut out 4 circles. Combine the remaining dough together, roll it back out, and cut 4 more rounds. You should end up with 12 rounds of pie crust.
2. Press each round into a greased muffin tin.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin, milk, eggs, vanilla, and spices.
4. Use a cookie scoop to fill each pie crust evenly with the filling.
5. Bake until the filling is set, cool, then serve and enjoy!

How long to bake

Your pies should bake in a preheated 350ºF oven for 30-40 minutes! You’ll know they’re done when the crust is golden-brown and the filling is no longer jiggly.

Can you use fresh pumpkin?

Use canned pumpkin purée for easy prep. It also yields a stronger flavor, which most people like, but you can absolutely use fresh pumpkin if preferred—you’ll want to cook and purée it first.

Tips

• Use refrigerated pie dough.During the holidays, there is already so much food to be prepped and cooked. Save yourself some time with store-bought pie dough.
• Don’t skip the spices. Pumpkin pie doesn’t taste like pumpkin pie without this blend of spices.
• Serve it with cool whip AND whipped cream. People either love cool whip or they hate it, best to have a back up option of whipped cream just in case!

You sure can! Pumpkin pie keeps really well in the freezer — store it in an airtight container for up to 5 months.

To enjoy again, thaw in the fridge then bake to warm or enjoy cold straight from the fridge.
