The origins of the American pumpkin pie
Pumpkin pie is a classic of American cuisine, closely linked to Thanksgiving Day. This pie, rich in history and tradition, has become a symbol of autumn celebrations in the United States, with its soft pumpkin and spice filling, wrapped in a flaky, golden crust.
My single-portion variant
My version of mini pumpkin pies is perfect for those looking for a practical and portioned dessert. These tarts are ideal for an autumn snack, at the end of a meal or as a delicious gift to share.
Tips for perfect mini pumpkin pies
To cook the base of the pumpkin pies perfectly, I recommend placing the tarts in the lower part of the oven for the first 15 minutes. Once golden, move them to the central shelf to color the edges too. Before serving them, let them cool and put them back in the fridge for a couple of hours. Serve them with ice cream or cream for an irresistible finishing touch.
