Greetings internet friends! It's been a while since I've made a post ... but I'm back and ready to bring you all some fun recipes for the Holiday season!
Today mom and me are trying out a recipe we received in an email newsletter from the The Dog Bakery. The recipe is actually via "Pet Chef" Rocky Kanaka, you can check out his video featuring the recipe here {video}.
The recipe posted in the info section of the video calls for the following;
1 - 15 oz. pure pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
2 - whole eggs (or 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce)
1 - small pinch of cinnamon
And for the crust, dog treats from The Dog Bakery. Used to line the bottom of the pie dish.
In the video this recipe actually made a FULL size pie, for a pretty large dog. Obviously mom was not about to make me a whole pie so she did some revisions to the recipe and decided to make me some "mini pup-kin pies" in her cup cake tray instead.
Here is the recipe mom ended up using (should be enough for 6 "mini pup-kin pies");
Ingredients:
11 or 12 - tbsp of pure pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
3/4 - of 1 egg
1 - small pinch of cinnamon
And for our crust we decided to use about 5 small Milk Bone flavor snacks
Preparation:
Before we get started on the yummy part preheat your oven to 350°. Prepare your cupcake tray with some cupcake liners. You can spray the tray very lightly with some non-stick oil if you think you'll need to before placing the liners.
Step One:
In a small bowl mix the pumpkin and egg together, add the pinch of cinnamon. Set aside.
Step Two:
For the crust, mom decided to go the route of a "graham cracker" pie crust to create a "pup crust". She crushed up the dog treats using a blender. You could use a food processor or do it by hand. In a separate bowl mix the crushed dog treats and about 1.5 tbsp of melted non-dairy butter or enough to make your dog treat crumbs stick together. Set aside.
Step Three:
Distribute the "pup crust" mixture evenly into 6 cup cake spaces on your tray. Press the crust firmly into each liner. (Pictured above)
Step Four:
Distribute all of the pumpkin filling evenly on top of the 6 pup crusts. Using a spoon or spatula flatten the filling and spread it out as best you can so there are no lumps.
Step Five:
Bake your "mini pup-kin" pies for 30 mins.
Step Six:
Let your pies cool for about another 30-35 mins.
When your ready to serve you can remove the liners and top with some whip cream for a extra special yummy surprise.
Hopefully your fur pals enjoy this one just as much as I did! Definitely can not wait to eat some more after Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow!
