Pumpkin Pie Dip
1
|
Pour the cold heavy whipping cream into a large mixing bowl. Using a stand mixer or hand mixer with a whip attachment, beat the cream into heavy peaks, about 4-5 minutes. Use a rubber spatula to transfer the whipped cream into a separate bowl and refrigerate it for later.
2
|
Add the cream cheese and powdered sugar to the same mixing bowl. Using a paddle attachment or beaters, beat the mixture until it's completely smooth. Then, mix in the pumpkin purée, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and cardamom until the mixture is well-combined.
3
|
Fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin-cream cheese mixture in two batches. Work gently so the whipped cream doesn't deflate!

Once the filling is fluffy and completely combined, cover the top of the bowl with a bowl cover or plastic wrap. Refrigerate the filling while you prepare the pie crusts.
Pie Crusts
1
|
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly dust a surface with flour. Working one pie crust at a time, roll the dough until it's about 1/8-inch thick. Then, use a 3-3 1/2-inch round biscuit cutter to cut out as many dough circles as you can. Gather & re-roll the scraps of dough and cut out as many circles as you can. Repeat with the other pie crust. You should have about 32 dough circles total.
2
|
With an offset spatula or butter knife, transfer the dough circles to the cups of the cupcake pan. Evenly press the dough circles into the cups, using a pastry tamper or shot glass to gently press the dough into the edges & bottoms of the cups. Then, use the tines of a fork to dock the bottoms of the crusts. Refrigerate for 15-30 minutes, until the crusts are very cold.
3
|
Place a paper cupcake liner in the center of each crust. Fill the cupcake liners with pie weights, dried beans, or dried rice. Bake the crusts for 15-16 minutes, until the crusts are set and golden-brown on the edges.
4
|
Carefully remove the paper liners from the crusts. Bake uncovered for another 5-7 minutes, until the crusts are crisp and deep golden-brown. They will shrink a tad, but should still be deep enough to fill. Let the crusts cool for 10-15 minutes and then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before filling.
Assemble the Pies

|
Right before serving, spoon the pumpkin filling into a piping bag fitted with a big round tip. Pipe the filling evenly between the cooled pie crusts. Decorate with whipped cream, pie crust leaves, etc. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Chill Your Cream Cheese First ❄️Use cold cream cheese straight from the refrigerator and whip it briefly before adding other ingredients to ensure a light, fluffy filling that won't become dense or grainy.
- Toast Your Spices for Depth 🌟Lightly toast the cardamom, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice in a dry pan for 30 seconds before mixing to intensify their flavors and create a more complex, premium taste.
- Strain Your Pumpkin Purée 🥄Drain canned pumpkin through a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth for 10 minutes to remove excess moisture, preventing a watery filling and achieving the perfect creamy texture.
- Blind Bake Your Mini Crusts ⏱️Pre-bake the pie crusts in the cupcake pan for 5-7 minutes at 375°F before adding filling to ensure they stay crispy and don't absorb moisture from the no-bake cream cheese mixture.
- Whip Heavy Cream to Soft Peaks 🍶Fold in heavy whipping cream only when stiff peaks form and just before assembly to maintain maximum volume and airiness in your filling for that signature fluffy texture.
