With a flaky crust and silky spiced pumpkin filling, these 8-ingredient mini pumpkin pies are a must-try for Fall gatherings— now 100% dairy-free, egg-free, and vegan!
Roll out the crust according to package instructions.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Add pumpkin, plant-based milk, sugar, flour, molasses, vanilla, salt, and pumpkin spice in a large bowl. Mix thoroughly.
Use a circular cookie cutter or the rim of a drinking glass to cut the mini pie crusts. Place the precut mini pie crust into a muffin tin and press the dough against the sides and bottom of the muffin tin. Fill them with the pumpkin pie filling.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the edges of the pie crust are golden.
Remove from heat and let it cool for at least 1 hour before removing from the muffin tins. For a firmer pie, place them in the refrigerator overnight.
Notes
Use plain pumpkin puree: (Not pumpkin pie filling, which is sweetened/ spiced) to control the flavor and sweetness – which are adjustable. Libby’s is great as it’s thick, with concentrated color and flavor.
Don’t overmix the filling: Incorporating too much air into the filling can cause it to puff/crack while baking.
Don’t overfill the pies: As the filling expands slightly while it bakes.
For neat pie crusts: I left mine rustic, but feel free to use a knife/fingers to shape a smooth pie crust.
