- 1 pre-made Pie crust or homemade if you prefer
- 8 oz Pumpkin puree not pumpkin pie filling
- 6 Tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 3/4 Cups Heavy cream or coconut cream for dairy-free
- 1/2 teaspoon Pumpkin pie spice or ¼ tsp cinnamon, ⅛ tsp nutmeg, ⅛ tsp ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 package Mini Marshmallows
- Whipped cream optional
Roll out the defrosted pie dough to about a 1/4 inch thickness. Use a round cookie cutter (about 2.5–3 inches) ( a shot glass works great) 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.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, egg, cream, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract until smooth.
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.
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.
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.
