My love of regular desserts taken into mini bite size form continues with this recipe from Bakerella for mini pumpkin pies. This recipe is seriously foolproof; the pie dough is the ready made kind you can find at any grocery store and the filling has only a handful of ingredients. Topped with some whipped cream and this is the perfect dessert for any get together from now until Thanksgiving!
Besides this weekend being filled with a lot of baking, we also went to two Halloween parties. On Saturday night we co-hosted our annual pumpkin carving contest/party at our friend's place in Venice.

Sunday night we were invited to a Halloween potluck which I contributed the mini pumpkin pies, but this time I topped them with whipped cream. The whipped cream is a great addition, but you really can't put it on until right before you want to serve the pies; otherwise it melts.

Happy Halloween!
