Traditions are a big part of Thanksgiving, especially when it comes to food.  We all have those special dishes that it just wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without, you know the ones…grandma’s secret sweet potato casserole or dad’s famous rolls.  But, for me Thanksgiving just wouldn’t be complete without my mom’s Pumpkin Tassies!  These bite sized morsels are everything Thanksgiving dessert should be, they’re the perfect combination of flavors and you won’t feel guilty having two…or three.

Thanksgiving Pumpkin Tassie

No matter how stuffed your guest are after the main meal, everyone will make room for these stunning sweets.  Here’s what you’ll need to make my mom’s special Pumpkin Tassies this Thanksgiving.

Pumpkin Tassies Ingredients

This is a simple recipe that can even be made ahead of time, saving your precious time on the day of the big meal.  First, you’ll start by making the crust for the tassies.  My mom always used these fluted tassie pans, I think it’s what makes them special, but you can use a mini muffin tin pan if you can’t find the mini tassie pans.

Pumpkin Tassies Recipe

Start by making the tassie crust first, dump everything into a bowl and mix it with your hands until it is no longer sticky.

Tassie Dough

Press a small amount of dough into the tassie pan and put them in the oven to bake.  This holiday season you can cook like a pro and elevate your Thanksgiving desserts to next level with Kenmore PRO appliances. With two separate convection fans plus a third heating element the Kenmore Pro delivers faster preheating and even baking so those special family recipes will turn out perfect for your holiday feast. With more control, speed and precision you’ll not only save time in the kitchen you’ll earn bragging rights when it comes to who had the best dish on Thanksgiving!

Once the tassies are out of the oven and cooled fill them with the pumpkin pie filling.

Sprinkle with the crunchy pecan crumble.

    I was a little weirded out cause I thought the pie filling was raw, but then I saw you cook it on the stove! Never seen that! Now I have to try these out.

      Ha ha, nope the filling is cooked on the stove top. You could also bake it in the pie shells just like you would a pumpkin pie but it would have a slightly different consistency. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!

    What is a “cube” of margarine? I am unfamiliar with this term, more used to tsp or Tbsp as a measurement.

      Hi Deborah, sorry about the confusion. This is one of my mom’s old recipes and I’m just so used to her short descriptions I forgot to edit the recipe when I posted it. The “cube” of margarine should say “Stick of Margarine.” You use the whole stick (8 Tbps) of butter to make the crust. Hope that helps, enjoy!
