Chocolate Chess Mini Pies are delicious, decadent and adorable. Plus, they are SIMPLE to make in under an hour!

Chocolate Chess Pie is one of my favorite desserts of all time. Taking that recipe and adapting to make mini pies is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser! They are super easy to make but look impressive with little scalloped pie crusts. 

Not feeling chocolate? You could make Mini Cheesecakes or Mini Cream Cheese Pies as well! Or go check out all of our desserts.

We like to use store-bought pie crusts to make this recipe. There is a time and place for homemade pie crusts, but as busy mamas with toddlers, Pillsbury is our friend. You can use homemade pie crust if you prefer to!

Materials You Need:

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Hand Mixer
  • Muffin Tin
  • Scalloped Cookie Cutter

How to Make Mini Pies

First, you need to thaw pie crust, if you’re using frozen. Ideally the pie crust should be thawed but still cold. Not room temperature.

Cut Out the Pie Crust

Roll the pie crust out on a clean surface, and use the cookie cutter to cut mini pie crusts out.

Put each pie crust into a greased muffin pan. Spread each crust with an egg wash, then add pie filling.

Bake and Serve

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes and allow mini pies to cool completely.

Pros and Cons

  • Mini Pies are adorable and make perfect finger foods, great for parties or gatherings! 
  • With the little ones, pie crust to filling ratio is not the same as a regular sized pie. 

Can you convert any pie recipe into mini pies?

Any pie recipe should be able to be made smaller – just watch them closely in the oven so as not to overcook! 

If you try this recipe, we’d love if you would leave us a comment and positive review – let us know what you think!
