All the flavors of Homemade Pumpkin Pie packed into a perfect portable fall dessert – Pumpkin Pie Bites.
I love pumpkin everything during the fall including Frozen Pumpkin Pie Hot Chocolate, Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread, Pumpkin Patch Pudding Cups, and Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream.
If you love pumpkin pie but don’t want to wait until Thanksgiving these pumpkin pie bites are the perfect way to get your fix. For a twist on the recipe, the crust is made using sugar cookie dough. Delicious! The pumpkin pie filling is a delicious combination of pumpkin, cream cheese, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
Ingredients
- 1 package refrigerated sugar cookie dough
- 4 oz cream cheese, very softened
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 3/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- Whipped Cream
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350°F. Spray mini-muffin cups with cooking spray.
- Roll sugar cookie dough out and cut with a biscuit cutter (approximately 3 inches diamater). Carefully press each round into the mini-muffin pan. Use your fingers to round the ends into a pie crust.
- Using a stand mixer, cream the cream cheese and sugar together. The mix in the egg, pumpkin, and pumpkin pie spice.
- Spoon a rounded teaspoonful of mixture into each dough-filled mini-muffin cup.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden around the edges.
- Remove from oven and let cool on a cooling rack.
- Top with whipped cream and sprinkle with more pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon on top and before serving. Keep refrigerated.
