Perfect Portable Pastries

Pumpkin Pie Shooters Update the Holiday Classic

These pumpkin pie shooters from the food blog My Name is Snickerdoodle are a refreshing and portable take on the holiday classic. The velvety pumpkin filling is supported by a base of Oreo crumbs and topped with a hefty helping of luscious, airy whipped cream. The personal-sized dessert will make your guests feel extra special as they mingle with their shooter in hand around the festive buffet table.

The color combination makes these pumpkin pie shooters a natural addition to any Halloween bash. There's no need to make your guests sit down to eat these travel-happy numbers. Plus, you'll save yourself from a pre-party meltdown over a less-than-perfect crust. These shooters are quick and easy to put together with a presentation that can't be beat.

Simple, yet effective, these Pumpkin Pie Shooters are the perfect alternative to the classic, but predictable, full-fledged pie.
