Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create the most Incredible Ultimate Mini Pumpkin Pies you’ve ever tasted:
1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Pie Crusts: Unroll the refrigerated pie crusts and use a round cutter to cut out circles that fit into a mini muffin tin.
3. Press into Muffin Tin: Gently press the pie crust circles into the muffin tin, forming little tart shells.
4. Whisk the Filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until well combined.
5. Add Eggs and Cream: Next, add the eggs, heavy cream, and vanilla extract to the pumpkin mixture. Whisk until smooth.
6. Fill the Crusts: Carefully pour the pumpkin filling into each pie crust, filling them about ¾ full.
7. Bake the Mini Pies: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the filling is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Cool: Remove the mini pies from the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for about 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Serve: Once cooled, you can serve them warm or at room temperature. Optionally, add a dollop of whipped cream on top for extra delight.
