Ingredients
For the crusts:
- 2 packages refrigerated pie crusts (I like Pillsbury for this)
For the filling:
- 1/2 tbsp heavy cream
- 1/2 oz unflavored gelatin powder
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup white rum or vodka
- 1 1/4 cups water, divided
- 1/3 cup spiced pumpkin pie filling (pureed for a smooth texture)
For garnish:
- whipped cream (optional, for serving)
Step 1: Prepare and Bake Pie Crusts
Unroll the pie dough and use a round cutter or the top of an ice tea glass to cut out small circles.
Place each circle into a small muffin or cupcake tin, pressing gently to form little crusts.
Bake the pie crusts according to the package instructions.
Once baked, set them aside to cool completely.
Step 2: Prepare Gelatin Mixture
Pour 1 cup of water into a medium saucepan and sprinkle the gelatin packets over the water.
Let it sit for 2 minutes to allow the gelatin to bloom.
After the gelatin has softened, turn the stove to medium-high heat.
Step 3: Add Pumpkin Filling and Sugar
Add the pumpkin pie filling and sugar to the saucepan, stirring constantly.
Allow the mixture to simmer gently.
Once it reaches a simmer, turn off the heat and set the saucepan aside to cool slightly.
Step 4: Combine Liquid Ingredients
To the cooled pumpkin mixture, add rum or vodka, heavy cream, and an additional 1/4 cup of water.
Stir the mixture until all ingredients are well combined, creating a smooth and even consistency.
Step 5: Fill and Chill Pie Crusts
Pour the gelatin mixture into the cooled pie crusts, filling each one to the top.
Place the filled pie crusts in the refrigerator and let them chill overnight or for at least 8 hours until set.
Step 6: Add Final Touches and Serve
If desired, top each mini pie with a dollop of whipped cream before serving.
Enjoy your delightful mini pumpkin gelatin pies!
