Blue Ribbon Recipe by

Portioned sized pies! I make these every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I've been making these for probably the past 8 years. I got the idea for making mini pies for my love of graham cracker crust. They have a layer of cheesecake and a layer of pumpkin pie. My family loves these. My daughter has requested these every year after I first made them. I topped them off with whipped cream and nuts. They turned out to be a big hit. From my family to yours enjoy!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

These individual pumpkin pie desserts need to be on your holiday dessert table. There was the perfect balance of spices in the pumpkin mixture. When you dig in, there's a cheesecake-like filling beneath the pumpkin. It's the perfect proportion of cream cheese mixture and pumpkin pie. A bit of whipped cream and a sprinkle of pecans on top is perfect. We loved this dessert because it's both easy to make and delicious. And, individual servings means nobody has to cut slices of pie. It's a grab and go holiday treat.
