26 days and counting until the big family Thanksgiving. This is going to be our first time hosting a big Thanksgiving Day Dinner and I couldn’t be more excited!
For the next few weeks I’m going to try out recipes, decorate, party planning and I’m take you guys along with me. I’m also going to beg you guys to help me! Do you have a recipe or a suggestions you want me to try? Let me know! I need all the help I can get.
Today it’s Mini Pumpkin Pies. We’re going to do a few different kind of mini desserts because I personally can never decide which dessert to choice. I always want all of them!
Today I’m going to let you in on my family secret Pumpkin Pie recipe. This recipe has been in my family for as long as I can remember. Not only is this secret recipe amazing, but it’s so easy to make. The prep takes hardly anytime and is a perfect opportunity for the little ones to get involved.
Here’s what you’ve been waiting for, the Hissong Family Recipe…
- Libby’s Pumpkin Pie Mix
- Carnation Evaporated Milk
- McCormick Spices – Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Cloves
- Keebler Mini Graham Ready Crust (My Dad makes his crust from scratch, but I love this Graham Cracker Crust)
Ok, so maybe it’s not so Secret, but it’s still makes for an amazing Pumpkin Pie.
- Pre Heat the oven at 375 degrees
Follow the Recipe on the back of the Libby’s Can
- Mix Sugar, Eggs, Spices
- Mix in the Pumpkin
- Mix in the Milk
- Now here’s the secret to my Fabulous Pumpkin Pie – Add a few dashes of McCormick Pumpkin Pie Spice
Normally I’d poor the mix into a regular Graham Pie Crust, but this year I’m going to use Mini Pie Shells.
Bake the pies for about 25 minutes or until you can insert a knife and comes out clean.
Now for my favorite part… Cool Whip!
Quick, Easy and Delicious!
Don’t for get to send us your Thanksgivings suggestions!

Thanks so much! The recipe I use always leaves extra filling so I bought some of the Keebler Mini crusts and I’m going to try my hand at making some mini’s with the extra filling. I just had no idea how long to cook them!! Thanks for the help! Have a great Thanksgiving!
its very nice posting i like it
i appreciate all that things very wonderful event
thanks
What a great post. I have my three grandchildren coming the day before thanksgiving. This is a perfect project (with minimal damage). I’m thinking there may even be a few pies left for the big day : ) I too wondered how long to bake the mini’s for this foolproof and tasty pumpkin pie recipe. I love the extra spices as well. That is definitely the secret.
Followed the recipe on the back of the Libby’s can–used your “secret ingredient”–not sure how much nutmeg to use–your picture and recipe show nutmeg–the can doesn’t…
Hope it turns out!
How many mini pies does one recipe make?
For the smaller can 6 for the double can 12.
