INGREDIENTS

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350° F.

Step 2

Unroll pie crust on a floured surface. Cut out 24 pumpkins from crust using a 3-inch pumpkin shaped cookie cutter or 3-inch round cookie cutter. You may need to gather scraps into a ball, roll with a rolling pin and cut pumpkins. Gently press pumpkins into mini muffin tins.

Step 3

Beat egg in a large bowl. Stir in pumpkin, sugar and pumpkin pie spice. Gradually stir in evaporated milk and Coffee mate natural bliss Creamer.

Step 4

Spoon about 1 tablespoon filling into each mold.

Step 5

Bake for 16 to 18 minutes or until filling is slightly puffed and set.

Step 6

Cool in molds for 1 hour; refrigerate for 2 hours.

Step 7

To decorate: Use 2 chocolate morsels for eyes. For the mouth, place remaining morsels in small, heavy-duty resealable plastic bag. Microwave on HIGH (100%) power for 20 seconds; knead until smooth. If needed, warm for a few more seconds. Snip tiny corner from bag and squeeze to drizzle onto mini pies.
