Time 40m

Yield 24 mini pies

Number Of Ingredients 14

24 pre-made mini pie shells
Oil, for pans
1 (12-ounce) can yams or sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened (reserved from Whipped Cinnamon Cream Cheese)
2 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup caramel sauce
1 (8-ounce) block cream cheese (reserve 2 tablespoons for pies), softened
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Put the pre-made mini shells inside a greased 24-count mini muffin pan.
  • In a large bowl add the yams, cream cheese, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, allspice, brown sugar and caramel sauce. Beat with a hand-held electric mixer until well combined. Dollop 2 to 3 tablespoons of the pie mixture into each shell. Bake until the custard sets, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
  • For the Whipped Cinnamon Cream Cheese:
  • Add the cream cheese, cream, sugar and cinnamon to a large bowl. Using a hand-held electric mixer, beat the cream cheese mixture until you reach a frosting consistency. Transfer the mixture to a disposable pastry bag with a star tip. Pipe a small amount of whipped cream cheese on each mini sweet potato pie. Arrange on a serving platter and serve.

I'm not usually a fan of sweet potato pie, but these mini pies were really good. The crust was flaky and the filling was creamy and flavorful.

These mini sweet potato pies were a hit at my Thanksgiving dinner! They were so easy to make and everyone loved them. The filling was creamy and flavorful, and the crust was perfectly flaky.
