Step-by-Step Instructions
Chill the Pumpkin Pie
Start by placing your pre-made pumpkin pie in the refrigerator for about 1-2 hours. This step is essential as it helps firm up the filling, making it much easier to cut out clean shapes without it getting too messy.
Cut Out Shapes
Here comes the fun part! Use your cookie cutters to press out shapes from the chilled pumpkin pie. Gently push down, ensuring you go through the entire layer of the filling and crust. If the filling sticks inside the cookie cutter, use a small knife or spatula to help release it.
Transfer to a Serving Plate
Once your bite-sized treats are cut out, use a small spatula to carefully transfer them to a serving platter. Make sure to handle them gently, as they may be delicate.
Add Additional Toppings
Now’s the time to add some extra flair!
- A light dusting of powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar can give the bites a lovely, finished look.
- Add a small dollop of whipped cream on top of each bite for that classic pumpkin pie touch.
- For a little indulgence, consider drizzling caramel sauce over the tops!
- Sprinkle on some nuts for a little crunch!
Served Chilled
These pumpkin pie bites are best served cold, so keep them in the fridge until you’re ready to enjoy. They’re a refreshing and sweet way to enjoy the flavors of fall in small, adorable servings.
Pro Tips for the Perfect Pumpkin Pie Bites
- Chill Again if Needed: If you find the filling getting too soft while you’re cutting out the bites, pop the pie back in the fridge for another 30 minutes to firm it up again.

- Creative Additions: Sprinkle chopped nuts, a bit of sea salt, or a dash of nutmeg on top for a unique twist!
