Notes

  • Ramekin Size: Use a 10-ounce ramekin (about 4 inches wide). A different size may affect baking time and texture.
  • Pumpkin Purée Only: Use pure pumpkin purée, not pumpkin pie filling.
  • Make Ahead: Prepare the filling up to 3 days in advance and refrigerate until ready to bake.
  • Double It: Easily double the recipe to make two mini pies.
  • Crustless Option: Skip the crust and bake just the filling for a quicker version.
 
 
To double this recipe: double the ingredients and use two 10-ounce ramekins or one 5x5 inch baking dish.
