Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright…. I realize anytime I use the phrase “the best” somebody is likely to disagree, based solely on principle.
You should know, I never post any recipe here on ASP until I personally think it’s the best. We all have different taste buds, however I think today’s recipe is a tempting common ground on which we all might be able to agree. Let me try to convince you…
So what makes these The BEST Mini Pumpkin Pies in the whole wide world? There are just so many reasons guys. That’s why I had to call them the best. It just didn’t seem right not too.
First of all, they are itty bitty and cute. That ranks pretty high by my standards. Second, they are extremely moist and tender, just as a good pumpkin pie should be. Third, they have a strong earthy pumpkin-spice flavor. Fourth, this recipe makes a whole bunch of The Best Mini Pumpkin Pies, so you can serve them at large gatherings, or freeze some for later. Fifth, they are super easy to make. Sixth, they are super easy to get out of the mini muffin pans. No chiseling away at the edges with a pairing knife. (I know you know what I’m talking about.) Seventh, you don’t have to make your own pie crust. Although I love homemade pie crust, these little guys are better suited for puff pastry crust. Store-bought puff pastry crust, even. Eighth, you don’t have to wait a long time to eat them like you do with a standard pumpkin pie. Once out of the oven, The Best Mini Pumpkin Pies only need a few minutes to cool, then you can enjoy them warm. (This might be the very best reason!) Ninth, they taste amazing as-is, but you can also top them with fresh whipped cream, mini ice cream scoops, marshmallows… The sky is the limit! Tenth, you can adjust The Best Mini Pumpkin Pies recipe to make it lower in calories by swapping Wholesome!™ Organic Cane Sugar for Wholesome!™ All Natural Zero!
Whew! Surely that is enough reasons to convince anyone. I am crazy over these little guys and think you will be too.
Let’s talk more about the final reason to love The Best Mini Pumpkin Pies recipe… Under normal circumstances, I use Wholesome!™ Organic Cane Sugar in most of my treat recipes. It’s fair trade certified, non-gmo, replaces refined white sugar, and tastes amazing. However, if you have need of reducing calories and keeping your glycemic index on the down-low, Wholesome!™’s All Natural Zero is a fabulous sugar substitute! Made from natural erythritol, Wholesome!™ Zero is non-gmo, vegan, and calorie free. It is a mild sweetener, so you use a little bit more Wholesome!™ Zero than you would sugar, but I’ve been extremely impressed with the flavor. Give it a try!
So there you have it, friends. The Best Mini Pumpkin Pies recipe is a must-make recipe this season, no matter which Wholesome!™ Sweetener you choose.
