Fudge Brownie Pumpkin Pie Cups

October 29, 2022 By Gretchen Leave a Comment

Every Thanksgiving I make Fudge Brownies and a Pumpkin Pie

And every Thanksgiving I stick my brownie on top of my Pumpkin Pie and eat them together!

Fudge Brownie Pumpkin Pie Cups

So this year I thought I would save myself a move and make Fudge Brownie Pumpkin Pie Cups!

A unique spin on two traditional holiday desserts

Individual fudge brownie cups filled with luscious creamy pumpkin pie!

Vegan whipped cream to top it off and trust me this dessert will be the first to go!

It’s just too easy to grab one and go! Or two…or three!

Believe me you have not lived until you stick your brownies in your pumpkin pie!

But for those who like to stay with the traditional way of doing things

By all means check out my Classic Pumpkin Pie recipe with melt-in-your-mouth flaky crust!

A direct replica of the pumpkin pie recipe I sold in my bakery!

Notes for Success & Substitutions

Because these little desserts are self contained, you can get away with eliminating the agar in the recipe

If you were to make this into a larger cake or pie for slicing, definitely be sure to include the agar!

I am using white chocolate as an added sweetener, not to mention it helps set the no bake pumpkin pie filling

If you cannot get white chocolate or want to leave it out just add more vegan sour cream (or yogurt) and be sure to use the agar thickener

I have made this recipe with both vegan cream cheese and yogurt and the results are almost identical

As mentioned in the video if you do not want to buy an extra ingredient like yogurt or cream cheese, simply replace that total amount with more plant milk

The higher the fat in the plant milk the better, so I am using canned coconut milk for this recipe

It is a good idea to line your cupcake molds with parchment paper to make sure you can get these little brownie cups out after baking!

Alternatively you can simply use paper cupcake liners!

If you use the brownie recipe I have listed below in the recipe section and the one I show in the video you will get only 9 brownie cups

But if you use the brownie box cake method you will get 12

The recipe for the pumpkin pie filling makes about 12 portions, so if you only have 9 cups you may have to eat the remaining filling with a spoon!
