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!
It sure is a nice bonus to the weather getting colder, that’s for sure.
When it comes to dessert for Fall entertaining, from casual company to traditional holidays this time of year, I love making a pumpkin treat such as this Pumpkin Creme Brulee.
It’s just something I don’t reach for very often during the other months of the year! I guess it’s our fall comfort necessity.
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. When you have them already made and ready, you feel the convenience every time.
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 Pumpkin Pie Tart after the kids go to bed. It’s my treat for a chaotic day survived.
How to Make Pumpkin Pie Tarts
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. Usually this time of year they are found on sale often, so buying them is too tempting, and less work!
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 simply adorable?
Enjoy!
Mini Pumpkin Pies
Mini Pumpkin Pies recipe. Individual portions of pumpkin pie that can be frozen and used at a later time.
Ingredients
- 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
Instructions
- 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.

Pumpkin pies are my fave! These look so yummy and seem easy to make.
These are so darn cute! I know what I’m bringing to my best pal’s birthday get together this weekend 😀 Who doesn’t love pumpkin pie? 🙂
What size tart shells are you using? Looking at different recipes for pumpkin tarts I’ve discovered at least 3 sizes…
You can actually use any size, I go for regular tart shell size, the small would be too small. 🙂
I used your recipe for my first try, my husband had requested pumpkin pie this year. It’s not something we have in the uk. Can I say they were amazing!!!!! I had a load of the batter left over so I added flour n choc chips n made muffins too which were equally as amazing.
Thank you
So happy to hear this! Thanks for the compliment, and I had no idea it’s not ‘a thing’ there!
Using this recipe to make a pie today. Hope it works out okay. I have always used the recipe off the Carnation Evaporated Milk can but as I only had 1 1/2 cups pumpkin, thought I would try this.
Excellent ! So easy to make, took no time at all. Followed the recipe to a T…even the amount per tart and the cooking time..they are delicious. Thank you for this yummy recipe that I will be making for years to come.
I took pictures to post….but no way to post them…
