These Mini Cheese and Cracker Pumpkin Pies are creamy, crunchy, and completely adorable. A no-bake festive bite made with crackers, cream cheese, and cheddar pumpkins perfect for Thanksgiving or any fall gathering.
Ingredients
- 1 block cheddar cheese
- 1 package cream cheese softened
- Triscuit triangle thins
- Chicken in a Biskit crackers
- Disposable piping bag or sandwich bag
- Optional piping tip star or round
- Optional: chive pieces for stems
- Optional: smoked paprika for garnish
Instructions
- Let the cream cheese soften at room temperature.
- Fill a piping or sandwich bag with the softened cream cheese. Attach a piping tip if desired for a neater swirl.
- Arrange Chicken in a Biskit crackers on a tray and pipe a small swirl of cream cheese in the center of each.
- Slice cheddar cheese into small rounds. Use a mini pumpkin cutter or shape by hand. Lightly score lines with a butter knife for pumpkin ridges.
- Place each cheddar pumpkin on top of the cream cheese swirl. Add a small chive piece as a stem if desired.
- Tuck a Triscuit triangle behind each one to look like a pie crust wedge and serve immediately or chill briefly before serving.
Notes
Use whipped cream cheese for faster prep. Slice cheese thin so it doesn’t slide off. Prep components in advance, but assemble just before serving for best texture. Add a pinch of smoked paprika for warmth or swap cheeses for color variation.
