Ingredients

Scale

Crust

Dough for 2 pie crusts (homemade or store-bought)

Filling

30 ounces canned pumpkin
1¼ cups heavy whipping cream
¾ cup evaporated milk
6 large eggs
2 cups light brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
¾ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
¾ teaspoon salt

Toppings (optional)

Whipped cream, for topping
Caramel pecan topping, optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the pumpkin pie bites.
Prepare the pan: Spray a jelly roll pan (either 10×15 inches or 11×17 inches) with cooking spray to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
Roll out the crust: Roll the pie crust dough to fit the size of your jelly roll pan. You only need to cover the bottom evenly—no need to line the edges.
Mix the filling: In a large bowl, combine canned pumpkin, heavy whipping cream, evaporated milk, eggs, light brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix thoroughly until smooth and homogenous.
Pour and bake: Pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared pie crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 35 minutes, or until the filling is set but slightly jiggly in the center.
Cool completely: Remove the pie from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool fully.
Refrigerate: Cover the cooled pie loosely with foil and refrigerate until ready to serve for easier cutting and better texture.
Cut into bites and serve: Use a 2.5-inch round cookie cutter to cut about 24 mini pumpkin pie bites. Top each with whipped cream and caramel pecan topping if desired before serving.

Notes

Using a slightly smaller pan results in thicker pie bites.
Refrigerate the baked pie before cutting to ensure clean slices.
Feel free to add your favorite toppings such as whipped cream or caramel pecans to enhance flavor.
Pie crust can be homemade or store-bought for convenience.
Storing leftovers in the refrigerator will keep the pie bites fresh up to 3 days.
