Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Mini Sweet Potato Pumpkin Pies Delight.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C). This is the perfect temperature to create a warm, inviting atmosphere for your mini pies. While the oven warms up, take a moment to prepare your pie crusts. In a small bowl, whisk the egg white until it's frothy. This will be your secret weapon for adding a beautiful golden touch to the edges of your crusts. Brush the egg white around the edges of each mini graham cracker pie crust, giving them a lovely sheen.
Step 2
Now, let’s focus on the filling! In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg yolk with the second whole egg. Whisk them together until they’re well blended. Next, stir in the mashed sweet potatoes, pumpkin pie filling, white sugar, softened butter, milk, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Mix everything until it’s smooth and creamy, creating a delightful filling that captures the essence of fall.
Step 3
Once your filling is ready, it’s time to fill those crusts! Spoon the mixture evenly into each of the mini pie crusts, making sure to leave a little room at the top for the filling to rise as it bakes. Place the filled pies on a baking sheet to catch any drips and make transferring them to the oven a breeze.
Step 4
Bake your mini pies in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the filling is set in the middle. The aroma of sweet potatoes and pumpkin will fill your kitchen, making it hard to resist peeking! After baking, let the pies cool for about 15 minutes. This will help them firm up a bit more and make them easier to handle.
Step 5
To finish off your mini sweet potato pumpkin pies, add a generous tablespoon of whipped cream on top of each pie. For a touch of elegance, gently press a walnut half into the whipped cream of each pie. This not only adds a beautiful presentation but also a delightful crunch to each bite. Enjoy your delicious creations!
