Next to Halloween, Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. These Minecraft Creeper Mini Pumpkin Pies will definitely work for both!
I love to make the dessert, and I love to make it fun. I decided to make my little Minecraft minions a little themed treat to take along to Thanksgiving at grandma’s house. They are just gonna love these Mincraft Creeper Mini Pumpkin Pies.
Usually we head to grandma’s house and almost immediately have our big Thanksgiving meal for lunch. Then, grandpa watches football and the rest of us either have a marathon of board games or video games.

How do you make Minecraft Creeper Mini Pumpkin Pies?
These are very easy to make. I used a jumbo muffin pan and a 6-inch circular cookie cutter to make the pie shells from refrigerated pie crust. Then, I made my usual pumpkin pie recipe, which is either the Libby’s Pumpkin Pie recipe on the back of the can OR my delicious dulce de leche pumpkin pie. For this recipe, I adapted the Libby recipe for these mini pies.
While the pies are baking, use the leftover pie crust and cut out little Minecraft Creeper faces with a knife. It’s pretty simple since you’re basically just cutting straight lines.
While the pies were cooling, bake the little creeper faces for about 10 minutes. Once cooled, place them on the pies, and we now have Creeper Pumpkin Pies!
