Mini Crustless Pumpkin Pies

Yummy mini crustless pumpkin pies that are easy to make that taste just like fall! They are gluten free, Paleo, and dairy free.

I started craving fall desserts. I started with pumpkin naturally. Although, I was probably influenced by picture after picture of pumpkin desserts on Facebook.  

I love pumpkin pie. I didn’t grow up liking it. Mainly because my parents didn’t like it, so my siblings and I automatically never ate it, and thought it was gross.  

My Grandma used to bring a pumpkin pie to every Thanksgiving dinner and I finally started eating it as a teenager. I’ve been hooked on pumpkin pie ever since.

This pumpkin pie is crustless. I love that!  

I’m not really into adding tons of nuts to my diet through grain free crusts. If I can avoid adding a crust I usually do!

Plus, I’m lazy and don’t always want to make a pie crust.

Leftover Pumpkin Pie Filling

If you are wondering what to do with leftover pumpkin pie filling, you can make these individual pumpkin pies. Pour the pumpkin pie filling into ramekins or glass jars and bake.

Instead of using my pie filling, you can use your leftover pumpkin pie filling to make these crustless pumpkin pies.

Mini Crustless Pumpkin Pie Ingredients

This recipe for single-serving pumpkin pies only requires a few simple ingredients. You can make some ingredients swaps like using regular brown sugar instead of coconut palm sugar.

How to Make Mini Crustless Pumpkin Pie

Begin by preheating the oven to 425 degrees F.

In a large bowl, using a whisk, whisk together all of the pumpkin pie ingredients.

Pour the pumpkin pie filling into 2 large ramekins or 2 glass jars (as shown in the pictures).

Place the jars in a larger baking dish and fill with a few inches of water (to create a water bath).

Bake for 15 minutes and then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. for 35 minutes.

The mini pumpkin pies are ready when the center of the custard is jiggly, (not fully cooked), but the edges are firm.

Allow the pies to cool. Refrigerate the pies for a few hours to fully set.

Yes, crustless pumpkin pie can be frozen. Be mindful if the container you baked it in can be frozen. You might have to transfer it to a freezer-safe container.

Mini pumpkin pies need to be refrigerated when stored. You can store them in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 4 days.

Mini Keto Pumpkin Pies

You can make this pie into a mini keto pumpkin pie by switching the coconut palm sugar for golden erythritol or your preferred sweetener.

Mini Paleo Pumpkin Pies

This no-crust pumpkin pie is naturally Paleo. I used Paleo-approved ingredients. You can use your preferred sweetener if you do not like coconut palm sugar. I suggest using maple syrup, raw honey, date syrup, etc.

Mini Gluten Free Pumpkin Pies

Yes, these pies are naturally gluten free pumpkin pies since there is no crust. They are also dairy free since there is no milk.

What can you garnish mini pumpkin pies with?

You can garnish mini pumpkin pies with whipped cream, a scoop of vanilla cream, etc. I used dairy-free coconut whipped cream and then I sprinkled it with ground cinnamon.
