Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs until frothy. Add 15 ounces of pumpkin puree and mix well.
  3. Incorporate ½ cup plus 2½ tablespoons of brown sugar, ½ teaspoon of salt, and the ground spices. Whisk until fully combined.
  4. Stir in 2 tablespoons of melted butter, 1 tablespoon of your choice of brandy (if using), and ¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons of warm milk.
  5. Roll out your cream cheese pastry to about ⅛ inch thickness and cut out rounds for the mini muffin tin.
  6. Spoon 1¼ to 1½ teaspoons of the pumpkin filling into each pastry-lined muffin cup.
  7. Bake for 10–12 minutes, watching for a lightly browned pastry and a filling that is set with a slight jiggle.
  8. Remove the tin from the oven and cool your mini pies for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
