Equipment
Ingredients
- 15 ounces pumpkin puree
- 12 ounces coconut milk
- 1 1/2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup organic cane sugar
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 4 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 refrigerated pie crust at room temperature
- Dairy Free Whipped cream optional for topping
Instructions
Pie Crust
- Lightly dust your counter with some flour before rolling out the pie crust.
- Use a 2" round cookie cutter to cut out the mini pie crust. To get the most out of your pie crust, remember to use the scrap pie crust that’s leftover by rolling it into a ball and rolling it out.
- Gently press each pie shell into a mini muffin tin. It helped to make the shell narrow when placing it into the tin, then gently pressing the sides to the tin.
- With a fork, gently poke holes in the crust to let it breathe.
- Transfer the muffin pans to the refrigerator while you make the filling.
Pumpkin Pie Filling
- Preheat the oven to 350 F degrees
- Add the pumpkin puree to the mixing bowl.
- Add in the coconut milk, vanilla extract, cane sugar, coconut sugar, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, pumpkin pie spice and salt. Stir the mixture together until it's creamy and smooth.
- Taste the pumpkin mixture and see if you want to adjust any of the flavorings.
- Remove the muffin pans to the refrigerator while you make the filling.
Assembling the Mini Pumpkin Pies
- Fill each pie shell with pumpkin filling.
- Bake for 15 - 20 minutes or until pie filling is lightly golden brown and set.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for about 5 - 10 minutes. Then place the baking tray in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to allow the pumpkin filling to set. The longer the better.
- Top the pumpkin bites with your favorite whipped topping to serve.
