I have but a few things that are important to me on Thanksgiving Day. Considering the amount of food that could potentially be served at a holiday feast, there are only three items that I always expect/desire:
- turkey
- mashed potatoes (don’t care about the type but I do need gravy)
- pumpkin pie
That’s not too much to ask, right? One thing that’s also important to me though – and it’s a little nit picky. I like my pumpkin pie to be really cold when it’s served.
And honestly, that’s how I feel about these mini pumpkin bites. They need to be really cold before serving! Yes . . . I said mini pumpkin pies, by the way. Which brings me to this pumpkin dessert recipe that I’m so excited to share.
While I like both sweet and savory pumpkin spice stuff, I tend more towards the sweets. These delicious mini pumpkin pie bites are just the sort of treat that will satisfy your Thanksgiving dessert cravings.

Graham Cracker Crust
I’ve had readers ask me about a graham cracker crust for this recipe (if you want to skip the pie crust). If you choose to do graham cracker, combine the following in a bowl:
- 1 1/2 cups finely ground graham cracker crumbs
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 6 T melted butter
Mix it up and then press into 12 cavities of the muffin tin. You can pour the pumpkin mixture into the cavities and bake as normal. Graham cracker as a crust is quite delicious!
These are recommended to be in the refrigerator for no more than three days. If you’d like to freeze them, make sure they are cooled completely before doing so.
Make sure to seal them tightly. These mini pumpkin pies will last for up to a month in the freezer.
