Mini Crustless Pumpkin Pies

So sorry I've been MIA for the past few days. My schedule has been pretty full with lots of fun and exciting things, some of which directly affect Cooking to Perfection. One such exciting event that has kept me busy is working with Dee over at Cocktails With Mom. If you haven't checked out this blog yet, you definitely should. There are lots of fun craft ideas, time and money saving tips, and delicious recipes. What more could you ask for? Plus, this Mini Crustless Pumpkin Pie recipe is featured on there today. So, if you like the looks of these mini pies, go on over and check them out at Cocktails with Mom!


But before you go over and check out how awesome Cocktails with Mom is, let's talk about this recipe for a bit. With the holidays coming up, I thought it was only appropriate to share a recipe that is easy to make, great for holiday entertaining, and delicious. I know we all have busy schedules that somehow get even busier around Thanksgiving and Christmas. Holiday entertaining, Christmas shopping, Christmas cards, baking, baking, and more baking, traveling to visit loved ones...the list goes on. While all of these things bring us joy, they can also cause a great deal of stress.


The last thing any of us have time to do is slave away in the kitchen. To help you cut down on kitchen time and eliminate as much stress as possible, I'm sharing a sweet treat that is very quick and easy to make. These Mini Crustless Pumpkin Pies are mixed, baked, and out of the oven in 30 minutes. In addition to being easy to make, these cute pies taste just like pumpkin pie but have a fraction of the calories and fat. So, you can indulge and not worry about logging in lots of time at the gym!


These Mini Crustless Pumpkin Pies are a great recipe all around. Consider yourself one step closer to being ready for the upcoming holiday season!

    1. I know the feeling! These mini pies definitely fit the bill. I think I might experiment with making different flavors too...peanut butter, nutella, Biscoff...so many possibilities!
