Ingredients You’ll Need
Here’s everything you’ll need to make these delicious treats:
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made pie crust (or homemade if you prefer)
- pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- brown sugar
- egg
- heavy cream or coconut cream (for dairy-free)
- pumpkin pie spice (or ¼ tsp cinnamon, ⅛ tsp nutmeg, ⅛ tsp ginger)
- vanilla extract
- Mini marshmallows
- Whipped cream or additional mini marshmallows for garnish (optional)
How to Make Marshmallow-Stuffed Pumpkin Pie Bites
Step 1: Prepare the Oven
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin tin.
Step 2: Cut and Shape the Dough
Roll out the pie crust to about ¼-inch thickness. Use a round cookie cutter (about 2.5–3 inches) to cut circles from the dough. Gently press each circle into the mini muffin tin to form a small crust. Set aside any extra dough for later use.
Step 3: Make the Pumpkin Filling
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, egg, cream, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 4: Assemble the Bites
Spoon a small amount of the pumpkin filling into each crust—about 3/4 of the way full. Then, place three mini marshmallows on top of each filled crust.
Step 5: Bake
Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. While the bites are still hot, VERY CAREFULLY place 3-4 marshmallows on top of each bite. Press down gently to push it into the pie. Let the bites cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 6: Optional Garnishes
Just before serving, top each bite with a dollop of whipped cream for extra flavor and presentation. This is optional and I prefer it without the whipped cream!
Tips for Making Perfect Pumpkin Pie Bites
- Use Frozen Pie Crust that has been defrosted: Cold pie crust is easier to work with and holds its shape better in the oven.
- Prevent Overstuffing: A little filling goes a long way! Too much can cause the bites to overflow in the oven. Place the pan on a sheet pan to catch any drips that might happen.
- Customize the Flavor: Add extra cinnamon or a dash of nutmeg to the filling if you like a spicier pumpkin flavor.
Ways to Enjoy Marshmallow-Stuffed Pumpkin Pie Bites

- Warm and Toasty: For an extra treat, reheat a few in the oven until the marshmallow is gooey again, and enjoy with a hot drink.
How to Store Pumpkin Pie Bites
