To prepare your mini pumpkin pies, you’ll need some basic tools: - Mixing bowl - Whisk - Measuring cups and spoons - Mini pie crust pans or muffin tins - Baking sheet - Oven mitts These tools help ensure that your pies bake evenly and come out perfectly every time. For the full recipe, check out the detailed steps and enjoy making this delightful fall dessert! To start, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures a perfect bake. If you want, you can use pre-made mini pie crusts, which save time. They are easy to find at grocery stores. If you prefer to make your own, roll out your dough and cut it into small circles. Place each circle into a muffin tin for a perfect fit. In a large bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, coconut milk, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Use a whisk for a smooth blend. Then, add the spices: ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Mix again until everything is well combined. This filling gives your pies a warm, fall flavor that everyone loves. Now, pour the pumpkin filling into each mini pie crust. Fill them about three-quarters full. This allows the filling to rise without spilling over. Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. They are done when the filling is firm. To check, insert a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean. After baking, let the pies cool for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Enjoy them with whipped cream for an extra special treat. For the complete recipe, refer to the Full Recipe section. To keep your crust crispy, pre-bake the crusts for 5-7 minutes. This helps harden the bottom. Use a fork to poke small holes in the crust. This lets steam escape and stops sogginess. Always fill the crusts only 3/4 full. This gives the filling room to puff up. Mix your pumpkin filling well to avoid lumps. Use a whisk for a smooth texture. When filling, pour slowly to prevent spills. A small measuring cup works great for this. Make sure each pie has an even amount of filling. This helps them bake evenly and look nice. Serve your mini pumpkin pies warm or at room temperature. Top each pie with a dollop of whipped cream. A sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg adds a nice touch. For a fun twist, drizzle some caramel sauce on top. Pair them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a special treat.

Ingredients
  

1 cup pumpkin puree

1/2 cup coconut milk (canned)

1/3 cup brown sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 package pre-made mini pie crusts (or make your own from scratch)

Whipped cream (for serving)

Instructions
 

Beginnen Sie damit, Ihren Ofen auf 375°F (190°C) vorzuheizen, um sicherzustellen, dass er die richtige Temperatur hat, wenn die Mini-Pies bereit sind, gebacken zu werden.

    In einer großen Rührschüssel die Kürbispaste, die Kokosmilch, den Braunen Zucker, die Eier und den Vanilleextrakt zusammenfügen.

      Fügen Sie dann die gemahlenen Gewürze - Zimt, Muskatnuss, Ingwer und Salz - hinzu. Mit einem Schneebesen kräftig schlagen, bis die Mischung glatt und gut vermengt ist.

        Stellen Sie die Mini-Pie-Teigcrusts auf ein Backblech. Dies sorgt für eine einfache Handhabung und verhindert ein Umkippen während des Füllens.

          Gießen Sie die Kürbisfüllung vorsichtig in jede Mini-Cracker, und füllen Sie sie etwa zu 3/4 voll, um sicherzustellen, dass beim Backen genügend Platz bleibt.

            Backen Sie die Mini-Pies im vorgeheizten Ofen für 20 bis 25 Minuten. Sie sind fertig, wenn die Füllung fest ist und ein Zahnstocher, der in die Mitte gesteckt wird, sauber herauskommt.

              Nehmen Sie die Mini-Pies aus dem Ofen und lassen Sie sie für 10 Minuten abkühlen. Danach können Sie sie vorsichtig auf ein Kuchengitter übertragen, um vollständig abzukühlen.

                Servieren Sie die Mini-Pumpkin-Pies mit einem großzügigen Klecks Schlagsahne obendrauf, um jedem Bissen einen besonderen Touch zu verleihen.

                  Vorbereitungszeit: 15 Minuten | Gesamtzeit: 45 Minuten | Portionen: 12 Mini-Pies

                    - Präsentationstipps: Stellen Sie die Mini-Pies auf einem dekorativen Tablett aus und garnieren Sie sie mit etwas Zimt oder einer Prise Muskatnuss für eine ansprechende Optik.
