PUMPKIN MAPLE BITES

If you are hosting a party, bake sale or buffet, I hope you will consider this recipe. These are little bite-size pumpkin-maple pies. They are great for a crowd (and kids) because they don't require the usual plate and utensil that most pie's do. Just pop them in your mouth...one big bite, Yum!!
½ cup brown sugar packed tightly
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon all purpose flour
1½ cups pumpkin puree
2/3 cup real maple syrup
3 eggs
1¼ cups half and half
mini-fillo shells
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, spices and flour together until smooth. Add the rest of the ingredients and whisk until well combined. Arrange the little phyllo shells on a cookie sheet and pour the pumpkin filling into them (all the way to the top). This recipe will make about four dozen. That sounds like a lot, but they are really tiny and an average person can eat several of these at a sitting.

Bake in a preheated 350F oven for 20-23 minutes or until done. Cool on a rack, then chill in the fridge. Top them with stabelized whipped cream (it won't deflate). See recipe below.

STABLE WHIPPED CREAM
(1) 8 ounce package cream cheese, room temperature
½ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups heavy whipping cream

Beat the cream cheese, sugar and extract in a large mixing bowl until very smooth (scrape the sides of the bowl often). While the mixer is still running, slowly pour in the heavy cream. Continue beating on high speed until very stiff peaks form.
