Ingredients
- ⅓ cup water
- 1 envelope (1 ounce) unflavored gelatin
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 2½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup frozen whipped topping (thawed) + extra for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Gelatin
Pour the water into a small saucepan and sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over it. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes to bloom. Then, place the saucepan over low heat and stir until the gelatin completely dissolves. - Make the Pumpkin Filling
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, and pumpkin pie spice. Whisk until smooth. Gradually add the dissolved gelatin mixture, stirring to blend it evenly into the pumpkin mixture. Fold in the thawed whipped topping until the filling is smooth and fluffy. - Create the Crust
In a separate bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with a few tablespoons of melted butter (optional, for added moisture). Divide the crumbs evenly among individual serving cups or mini pie tins, pressing them firmly to create a crust layer at the bottom. - Assemble the Mini Pies
Spoon the pumpkin filling on top of each graham cracker crust, smoothing the tops with a spatula. Transfer the mini pies to the refrigerator and let them chill for a minimum of two hours, which will help the filling firm up nicely. - Serve
Once chilled and firm, top each mini pie with an additional dollop of whipped topping. You can sprinkle a bit of pumpkin pie spice or crushed graham cracker crumbs over the top for an extra touch.
