Ingredients
For the Crust:
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
¼ cup granulated sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Filling:
1 cup pumpkin puree
½ cup heavy cream
¼ cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
For the Topping (optional):
Whipped cream
Ground cinnamon for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners.
- Make the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press about a tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each mini muffin cup.
- Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, brown sugar, eggs, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
- Fill the Cups: Pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared crusts, filling each cup almost to the top.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the filling is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the bites to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Add Topping: If desired, top each bite with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon.
- Enjoy: Serve and enjoy your delightful Pumpkin Pie Bites!
Notes
Ensure the bites are completely cool before adding whipped cream to prevent it from melting.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the bites for up to 2 months and thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
