Mini Pumpkin Pies

Ahh, Fall. This time of year makes me want to turn on the oven again and welcome the scents of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves.
The leaves changing, the cooler days and the upcoming Halloween and Thanksgiving season make me think of ‘pumpkin’, and I’m seriously starting to crave this Pumpkin Spice Poke Cake!
Have you noticed that this time of year brings on a pumpkin-craze? I love it!
When it comes to dessert for Fall entertaining, from casual company to traditional holidays this time of year, I love making a pumpkin treat. It’s just something I don’t reach for very often during the other months of the year!
On bigger holidays, our tradition is to have pumpkin pie – yum – there’s nothing like it. Yet, when it’s just us, I like to make these individual Mini Pumpkin Pies, so that I can freeze them and enjoy on other nights too.
Yep, I’m always thinking of cooking and baking for batches!
So what’s better than rich, soothing pumpkin pie? Pumpkin Pie in mini one-bite tarts!
Mini Pumpkin Pies are pint-sized versions of the pie we all know and love, just in individual portions. These are perfect to have on hand for when guests drop in {one less thing to worry about}.
Perfectly sized for kids, and a nice portion for all, these tiny pumpkin pies are sure to become your go-to during Autumn days and holidays. Plus, for a holiday potluck or buffet, these are ideal for the masses.
I have to also admit to enjoying a Mini Pumpkin Pie after the kids go to bed. It’s my treat for a chaotic day survived.
How to Make Mini Pumpkin Pies
Mini Pumpkin Pies are very simple to make, and requires few ingredients which are mostly spices, pumpkin, shells and evaporated milk. Don’t forget the whipped topping though. Always, whipped topping.
You can either make your own pastry or buy them frozen. Myself, I buy frozen shells since I make so many tarts for the holiday season to have on hand when the need arrises.
Making pumpkin pie tarts means they are enjoyed whenever, without having to cut into a large pie and then feel the pressure to use the leftovers right away. All the same taste but with more convenience.
Plus, it takes the pressure off in making one beautiful and impressive pie. These tiny ones are simple to make and no-fail. Many are hesitant to have dessert after a big holiday meal, yet with these, no can can pass up mini.
Aren’t they adorable?
Enjoy!

Mini Pumpkin Pies recipe. Individual portions of pumpkin pie that can be frozen and used at a later time.
- 30 tart shells
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups canned pumpkin {or pumpkin pie filling}
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ginger
- 1/4 tsp cloves
- 1 1/4 cups evaporated milk
- Whipped Topping
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs with a whisk
- Add the remaining ingredients and blend until mixed
- Spread out the tart shells onto a cookie sheet, you might need two
- Using a 1/4 measuring cup, spoon the pumpkin filling into each tart shell. I find the perfect amount for each shell to be just a little less than 1/4 cup, so it's a good way to keep them even and ensure you have enough filling for the shells
- Bake at 375F for about 30 minutes or until crust starts to golden
- Let cool and dollop whipped topping onto each with a sprinkle of cinnamon. OR, freeze them once cooled {in an airtight container} and take them out to enjoy as needed.

Flare says
12/31/2016 at 6:37 pmWhat size tart shells are you using? Looking at different recipes for pumpkin tarts I’ve discovered at least 3 sizes…
Tammi says
01/02/2017 at 11:17 amYou can actually use any size, I go for regular tart shell size, the small would be too small. 🙂
