What to do with leftover Pumpkin Pie Filling?

Pumpkin pie is a fall favorite, but what do you do with the leftover filling? There are actually a lot of possibilities.

One option is to make pumpkin pie crescent rolls. Simply mix the pumpkin pie filling with softened cream cheese, spread the mixture on top of the crescent rolls, roll up and bake.

Another idea is to use the filling to make pancakes or waffles. Just add a few spoonfuls of filling to your batter and you’re good to go.

Can you freeze leftover Pumpkin Pie Filling?

You can freeze leftover pumpkin pie filling without any problems. In fact, freezing is a great way to extend the shelf life of the product.

Simply transfer the leftover filling to a freezer-safe container and store it in the freezer for up to six months. When you're ready to use it, thaw the filling in the refrigerator overnight and then proceed with your recipe.

So don't throw out that extra pumpkin pie filling! Either use it in another recipe or you can freeze it for later!

Recipe Variations

Try adding a different pie filling to the Pie Crust Flowers. You might like this simple two ingredient recipe for Flower Shaped Dessert Cups made with lemon pie filling.

Experiment with other pie fillings, such as cherry, blueberry, or apple, to create a variety of flower tarts.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Follow the directions on the back of the can of Libby's Pure Pumpkin to make the filling. Set aside while you prepare the pie crust flowers.

Step 2: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pie dough. Use a flower shaped cookie cutter to create shapes in the pie crust. If you don't have a flower cutter, a round or biscuit cutter works just as well.

Step 3: Gently place your cut-out pie crust flowers into the muffin pan. To keep your dough from tearing, use a Pastry Dough Tart Tamper to carefully press the shapes into the pan.

Quick Tip

Spray the mini muffin pan generously making sure you spray around the top of the "wells" in the muffin pan. You don't want the pie dough to stick to the pan while they are baking.

Step 4: For easy filling, use a small cookie scoop to add the pumpkin pie mixture to each pie crust. If you don't have a cookie scoop, a tablespoon measuring spoon will also work perfectly.

Step 5: Fill the cups to about ⅔ of the way to the top being careful not to overfill. You don't want them to overflow as they bake.

Baking Instructions

Step 6: Brush the edges of your pie crusts with an egg wash for a beautiful golden finish. If you like, sprinkle a bit of sugar over the edges for an extra touch of sweetness.

Step 7: Bake in a preheated 400°F oven for approximately 15 minutes. Keep a close eye on them and check for doneness by inserting a knife into the center of a pie – it should come out clean.

Serving Tips

Let cool slightly before removing from the pans. Top with fresh homemade whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon/sugar before serving.

Is Libby's pumpkin pie mix the same as pumpkin puree?

No, canned pumpkin puree is cooked, pureed pumpkin. There is nothing added to the pureed pumpkin. Pumpkin Pie Mix or Filling is flavored with spices and sweetener.

Storage and Reheating Instructions

Refrigerate: These are best fresh, but you can store them in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Cover them with plastic wrap or put them in an airtight container.

Freezer: Flash freeze the mini tarts by placing them on a baking sheet in the freezer for about an hour. Once they're firm, store them in a zip top freezer bag, airtight container, or wrapped in a layer of plastic wrap then aluminum foil.

Thawing Tips: Thaw in the refrigerator overnight when you're ready to enjoy.
