How to make this mini pumpkin pie recipe:

Mini Pumpkin Pie Recipe

The tart shell recipe comes straight from my grandmother.  It is one that she uses for all of her pie recipes and it is beyond delicious!  I used it for all of my tarts and pies.

Ingredients:

Tart Shells
2/3 cup margarine
1/2 cup lightly packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1.5 cups flour

Filling
4oz room temperature cream cheese
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup canned pureed pumpkin

1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 egg

Blending the filling is quick and easy, especially if are using a Kitchen Aide mixer.  Tip: be sure that the cream cheese is room temperature so that it mixes in smoothly.

When pressing the dough into the mini muffin tin it is helpful to use your thumbs to work the tart shell into the mould.

Drop spoonfuls of filling in to reach almost the top of each shell.

More tips for Holiday Baking:

  • Double or triple recipes to make large batches of goodies.  This allows cookies and bars to be made in an assembly line fashion and speeds up the process.
  • Pick holiday recipes that compliment each other and look good plated together.  For example every year I like to make Candy Cane Brownies, Eggnog Cookies, Cranberry and Pistachio Shortbread and Peppermint Dipped Chocolate Cookies for a good variety.
  • Participate in a Holiday Baking Exchange!  This is a great way to prepare for a season of holiday entertaining.
  • Start baking early and store goodies in the freezer until they are needed.  I use these large Rubbermaid food storage containers (aff link) to save a mixture of cookies and bars in my freezer so that I have them ready to go for Christmas parties and gatherings all season long.
