Ingredients

  • 2 packages refrigerated premade pie crust enough for two crusts. These often come two to a package.
  • 1/2 ounce unflavored gelatin powder use 2 packets, 1/4 ounce each
  • 1 1/4 cup water divided
  • 1/3 cup spiced pumpkin pie filling or unspiced canned pumpkin + 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 cup white rum or vodka
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tablespoon whipping cream heavy cream
  • whipped cream, for garnish or whipped topping, optional

Instructions

  • Unroll pie dough and cut into small c.ircles (I used the top of an ice tea glass to get small circles.) Place circles in small muffin/cupcake tin and bake according to package instructions. Set aside and allow to cool.
  • Pour 1 cup water into a medium saucepan and sprinkle gelatin packets over water. Let sit for 2 minutes before turning on heat.
  • Turn stove to medium-high heat and add pumpkin pie filling and sugar, stirring as you add. Allow to simmer and then turn off the heat and set aside to cool.
  • Add rum or vodka, heavy cream, and an additional 1/4 cup water to the mixture and stir until well combined.
  • Pour gelatin mixture into pie crusts and place in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 8 hours
  • Top with whipped cream if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Cut pie crust dough to fit your mini muffin pan. A skinny glass, a small biscuit cutter or a shot glass will work. Get creative to find what works for your sized pan!
  • Pumpkin pie filling works best in this recipe. You can use solid-packed pumpkin as well, but you'll want to add pumpkin pie spice and some sweetener for the best effect.
  • When you sprinkle gelatin over water and let it stand, that process is called blooming.
  • If you have a party you'll be attending, be sure to make these Pumpkin Pie Jello Shots the day (or night) before. These shots need at least 8 hours to set.
