A classic pumpkin pie is a standard at Thanksgiving dinner, but what to do when there are more diners than slices? Or what if you're more of a crust-lover than filling? Enter these adorable mini pumpkin pies, which rethink the ratio of crust to filling and do it in a snack-able package. These little pies are perfect for people who want just a little treat after the big meal, or who'd rather a smattering of desserts, since, honestly who can choose between pumpkin and pecan?

No baking experience? No problem. These super-easy pumpkin pies are not just cute, but incredibly easy to make too. While you can make pie dough yourself, store-bought pie dough works just as well. You'll fill the cups with a simple stir-together filling, then finish them off with a dollop of whipped cream and a shaving of milk chocolate for an elegant, bite-size treat.

The sprinkling of chocolate shavings on top is a game-changer—pumpkin and chocolate are a perfect match. If you have pumpkin pie spice on hand, skip the cinnamon, ground ginger, and nutmeg and use 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice in the filling instead.

If you want to freeze these pies, let them cool completely, then freeze them on a baking sheet until solid. Transfer to an airtight container once frozen and defrost at room temperature to eat.
