Step-by-Step Instructions for Mini Pumpkin Pies
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Gather your ingredients and prepare your mini muffin tins.

  3. Stir in the brown sugar, salt, and spices. Combine thoroughly until smooth and aromatic.
  4. Add the melted butter and warmed milk. Mix until you achieve a silky filling.
  5. Roll out the cream cheese pastry to about ⅛ inch thick and cut into rounds with a mini biscuit cutter.
  6. Fit the pastry rounds into the mini muffin tins, pressing down slightly.
  7. Spoon 1¼ to 1½ teaspoons of the pumpkin filling into each tartlet shell.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes until lightly golden and filling is set.
  9. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
