    Im not yet in Christmas mood. Just a tiny bit, but not enough… there are still so many pumpkins all over the place that want to be used – so why making Christmas cookies?! No! Not yet! Let’s make some Mini Pumpkin Pies instead!

    I suppose you already had pumpkin pie – where I’m coming from it is not common at all. We use pumpkin only in savory dished – soup, oven vegetables… I had my first pumpkin pie in the US for Thanksgiving. It was delicious!

    But of course you can use pumpkin almost in any type of baked goods – cupcakes, muffins, cheesecake etc. – but of course the one an only classic bake would be a simple pumpkin pie. Creamy and full of flavors! From now on you also know the mini tiny version of that classic. Perfect as a snack or for a buffet. I have to be honest – I prefer the smaller ones now – the ratio of pie to whipped cream is much better when you have a small one ;P

    You don’t need a special baking tin to make these little fellas – a regular muffin tin works perfect. The size of the dough circles I mention in the recipe is good for thin pies. If you want more filling, make bigger ones – that easy ;P

    INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN

    • English
    • Deutsch

    (18-20 mini pies)

    For the dough:
    1 1/3 cup (175g) all-purpose flour
    1/4 cup (30g) confectioner’s sugar
    1/2 cup (100g) cold butter
    1 egg yolk
    1-2 tbsp. ice water

    For the filling:
    3/4 cup (170g) pumpkin purée
    1/3 cup (80ml) heavy cream
    1 large egg
    1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar
    1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice*
    pinch of salt

    For the decoration:
    whipped cream (optional)

    *or 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon, 1/2 tsp. ground ginger, pinch of ground nutmeg, pinch of cloves

    (18-20 Mini Pies)

    Für den Teig:
    175g Mehl (Type 405)
    30g Puderzucker
    100g kalte Butter
    1 Eigelb
    1-2 EL Eiswasser

    Für die Füllung:

    100g brauner Zucker
    1 TL Pumpkin Pie Spice*

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch

    1. For the pastry mix flour and confectioner’s sugar in a large bowl. Add the cold butter and cut with a pastry blender or knife into small pieces. Add the egg yolk and one tablespoon of the ice water. Use your hands to form a nice ball of dough. Add some more water if the crumbs are not coming together. Wrap in plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

    2. Preheat the oven to 375˚F (190°C). Roll out the dough on a floured surface – you want the dough quite thin. Cut out 18-10 round dough pieces with a 2.7 (7cm) scalloped cookie cutter or use a glass. You have to collect and roll out remaining dough to get enough pieces. Grease muffin tins, transfer the dough pieces to the molds and press to the bottom and sides to form nice crusts. Try to get them high enough, so they can hold a nice amount of filling. Set aside.

    3. In a bowl mix the pumpkin purée with heavy cream, egg, sugar, pumpkin pie spice and salt until well comnined. Fill into the prepared mini pie crusts – be careful and don’t spill filling over the edges, or they will stick to the tin when baked. Place one muffin tin at a time in the oven and bake for 12-14 minutes – the filling will puff up a bit. Take out and let cool down in the tin until the mini pies are firm enough to be moved, place on a wire rack and let cool down completely. Before serving decorate with whipped cream.

    1. Für den Teig das Mehl mit dem Puderzucker in einer großen Schüssel vermischen. Die Butter zugeben und mit einem Teigmischer* in kleine Stückchen zerteilen. Eigelb und ein EL vom Eiswasser zugeben und alles mit den Händen zu einem glatten Teig verarbeiten. Sollte der Teig nicht zusammenhalten, einfach noch etwas Wasser zugeben. In Klarsichtfolie wickeln und für mind. 30 Minuten in den Kühlschrank legen.

    2. Den Ofen auf 190°C (375°F) vorheizen. Den Teig auf einer bemehlten Fläche ausrollen – die Teigschicht sollte recht dünn sein, damit man genügend Teigkreise bekommt. Mit einem Keksausstecher (geriffelter Rand) oder einem Glas etwa 18-20 Teigkreise mit 7cm (2.7) Durchmesser ausstechen. Teigreste sammeln und erneut ausrollen, sonst kommt man nicht auf die Anzahl der Kreise. Muffinbleche einfetten und dann die Teigkreise in die Mulden legen und festdrücken – versucht einen möglichst hohen Rand zu bekommen, damit auch etwas Füllung reinpasst. Zur Seite stellen.

    3. In einer Schüssel das Kürbispüree mit der Sahne, Ei, Zucker, Pumpkin Pie Spice und Salz verrühren. Die Füllung in die vorbereiteten Mini Pies verteilen – achtet darauf, nichts über die Ränder zu verschütten, sonst kleben die kleinen Pies nach dem Backen fest (und es sieht auch schöner aus). Die Bleche nacheinander in den Ofen stellen und jeweils 12-14 Minuten backen – die Füllung wird sich dabei etwas aufblähen. Aus dem Ofen nehmen und so lange in der Form abkühlen lassen, bis man die kleinen Pies bewegen kann (sind etwas zerbrechlich am Anfang). Auf ein Kuchengitter setzen, kompltett auskühlen lassen und vor dem Servieren dann mit einem Tupfen Sahne verzieren.
