Description

These mini pumpkin pies are a delightful blend of creamy pumpkin filling nestled in a flaky, buttery crust. Each bite offers a warm, spiced flavor that evokes the essence of fall, with a smooth texture that melts in your mouth.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Crust:
    • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced
    • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 3–4 tablespoons ice water
  • Filling:
    • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
    • 1/2 cup heavy cream
    • 1/2 cup brown sugar
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt for the crust. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Stir in ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough forms a ball. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  4. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into circles to fit a mini muffin tin.
  5. Press the dough circles into the muffin tin and prick the bottoms with a fork.
  6. In another bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, heavy cream, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, spices, and salt until smooth.
  7. Pour the filling into each crust, filling them about 3/4 full.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the filling is set and a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Let cool for 10 minutes before removing from the tin. Serve warm or at room temperature.
