Flower Shaped Mini Pumpkin Pie

Mini Pumpkin Pie using pie crust flowers in place of a traditional pie crust. Top these off with homemade whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar. Let me show you how easy it is to make another one of our favorite pumpkin dessert recipes.

How cute is this recipe for Mini Pumpkin Pie in the shape of flowers? They not only taste delicious, but they’re adorable. I think they make a great addition to any dessert buffet table as well.

The recipe I use to make these mini pumpkin pies is found on the back of the can of Libby’s Pure Pumpkin.

I never buy the can of pumpkin that has the spices mixed in, I like to add my own in the way of Pumpkin Pie Spice.  Make sure you check out my homemade recipe for Pumpkin Pie Spice.

Make sure you add a dollop of Homemade Whipped Cream to the top of the pie crust flowers before serving.

Helpful Kitchen Tools

This post contains affiliate links.  Check out the Shop My Kitchen section below for more suggestions for you to use that work great with this recipe.

  • Flower Shaped Cookie Cutter
  • Pastry Dough Tart Tamper – this really helps keep the dough inside the muffin pans.
  • Muffin Pans
  • Cookie Scoops

Here is what the Pastry Dough Tart Tamper looks like.  You can see how easily it helps push dough into the mini muffin pan for Mini Quiche I made recently.  I use this tool a lot for dough recipes.

Ingredients: 

Exact measurements are listed below in the recipe card. Make sure you scroll down to print and save the recipe for later!

  • One can Libby’s Pure Pumpkin
  • Evaporated milk
  • Sugar
  • Salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 tbsp to 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice; depending on your taste. This is my favorite spice to add to most Fall-inspired pumpkin recipes. 
  • One recipe of pie dough either homemade or store bought.

How to Make Pie Crust Flowers

Using a flower shaped cookie cutter, cut out shapes in the pie crust. You can use a round or biscuit cutter for the shapes as well, the mini pumpkin pie just won’t have the cute flower shapes. 

Please don’t feel as if you have to make homemade pie dough. Store purchased refrigerated pie crust works fine too!

Baking 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. 

Place the cut out pie crust flowers dough into a muffin pan. Make sure you use the Pastry Dough Tart Tamper to help you get the dough inside without tearing.

How to fill Mini Pumpkin Pies

Use a small cookie scoop to spoon the pumpkin pie mixture into the pie crust. I love to use my cookie scoops for more than just making cookies! 

If you don’t have a cookie scoop, you can use a tablespoon size measuring spoon.  Fill the cups to about 2/3 of the way to the top being careful not to overfill. You don’t want them to overflow as they bake. 

Use a cookie scoop to fill the flower shaped pie crust.

Baking Instructions

Brush the pie crust with an egg wash. You can also sprinkle sugar on the edges of the pie crust if desired. 

Bake in a 400 degree preheated oven for about 15 minutes; checking often until a knife inserted in the middle of the pie comes out clean.

How to Serve the Mini Pumpkin Pies

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

Refrigerate any leftovers in an air-tight container. 

Frequently Asked Recipe Questions

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

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.

Do you need to refrigerate a pumpkin pie?

Yes, you should store any pie that is made with eggs in the refrigerator. These mini pumpkin pies can easily be stored in an air-tight container after they have baked and cooled to room temperature.

Flower Shaped Mini Pumpkin Pie

Flower Shaped Mini Pumpkin Pie

Yield: 24 mini size pumpkin pies
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes

Mini Pumpkin Pie using pie crust flowers in place of a traditional pie crust. Top with homemade whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar right before serving.

Ingredients

  • 1 15 ounce can Libby's Pure Pumpkin
  • 1 12 ounce can evaporated milk
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 tbsp to 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice; depending on your taste.
  • One recipe of pie dough either homemade or store bought.

Instructions

  1. Beat the eggs in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Add the pumpkin, sugar and pumpkin pie spice; combine well.
  3. Add the evaporated milk and combine.
  4. Set aside and prepare your dough.
  5. On a floured surface, roll out the pie dough.
  6. Using a "flower" shaped cookie cutter, cut out shapes and place in the well of muffin pan that has been sprayed with non-stick
    cooking spray.
  7. Make sure you spray the top of the muffin pan as well.
  8. Using the special tamper tool helps get the pie dough into the well of the muffin pan.
  9. Spread out the flower tips so they lay flat on top of the muffin pan.
  10. Using a small cookie scoop, fill up each muffin well about 2/3 of the way full.
  11. Brush the edges of the dough with an egg wash before baking.
  12. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 15 minutes; checking after 10 minutes.
  13. Let cool slightly in the muffin tins before removing to a baking rack to cool.
  14. Right before serving, add freshly whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon/sugar to the tops of each mini pie.



Notes

  • Since these are small pies, they bake much quicker than a full sized pie.
  • Oven temperatures vary so check them to make sure the crust isn't getting too brown.
  • The mini pumpkin pies are done when you can insert a knife in the center and it comes out clean
  • The pie crust should be golden brown.

    Them are adorable and anyone making these will be the hit at their holiday gathering.
    I was just wondering what size your cookie cutter was. I have a flower shape cookie cutter but it’s rather large; I think it’s too large for the mini baking pan
