I LOVE themed baking so I made some Halloween Pumpkin Pie Mummies. I think they’re spooky in an adorable way. So, how are we making our cute pumpkin mummies? They’re a lot like pop tarts or mini hand pies in concept. I made them with a delicious crumbly shortcrust pastry and a spiced thick pumpkin pie filling. I also bought candy eyes so that everything is tasty and edible. They make a great Halloween treat and would be a hit at themed parties!
You will need a rectangular mould to make these since the pumpkin filling is on the liquid side. I used this one right here, but any rectangular/circle/square shape will do! You can also use a pastry cutter wheel to get the ‘bandages’ perfectly even, but I just did it by hand.
How to: Homemade Pumpkin Puree
I made the pumpkin puree from scratch as we don’t really have canned pumpkin in stores here. I can’t tell you if it makes a difference to do it from scratch since that’s all I’ve ever known. What I can say is that from experience, anything homemade is ALWAYS better. So, to make homemade pumpkin puree, just roast the diced pumpkin for 25 minutes at 200°c. Then blend until it turns into a puree.

As always, let me know if you make them, I’d love to see!
Happy Halloween,
