Mini Pumpkin Pies

Delightfully creamy mini pumpkin pies, perfect for sharing or savoring alone, embody the comforting flavors of pumpkin pie in bite-sized portions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Cooking spray or melted butter, for muffin tin
  • 1 batch basic pie dough
  • All-purpose flour, for surface
  • 1 1/3 cups pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon, plus more for serving
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • Milk chocolate bar, chilled, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Arrange a rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 375°F (190°C). Spray the bottoms and sides of a 24-cup mini muffin tin with cooking spray or brush with butter.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll the pie dough to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut out rounds using a 3-inch cutter. Reroll scraps and cut more rounds as needed until you have 24.
  3. Transfer rounds to the prepared muffin tin, pressing the dough into the bottom and up the sides. Refrigerate until the dough is firm, about 15 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, condensed milk, egg, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, salt, and nutmeg until smooth and well combined.
  5. Spoon filling into prepared muffin cups to reach almost all the way up the sides (about 1 heaped tablespoon), or pour in filling.
  6. Bake pies until the center is set and puffed and the edges are golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Using a small offset spatula or a spoon, gently remove pies from the tin and transfer to a wire rack. Let cool completely.
  7. In a large bowl, whip cream to soft peaks. Top pies with a dollop of whipped cream. If using, shave chocolate on top of pies with a vegetable peeler. Sprinkle with cinnamon for that extra touch of indulgence.
