Pumpkin Pie Ravioli-Inspired Dessert

If there is one food I would call my favorite, it would be pasta, because it is so versatile and it comes in so many fun shapes like ravioli. While I love my pasta, I wanted to stand out so I went a slightly different route for my pasta recipe for this month’s challenge.
 

Pasta-inspired

 
Instead of making an actual pasta dish, I wanted to create something I dreamed up a while ago, inspired by ravioli. Seasonally I have seen restaurants come out with pumpkin ravioli, so I thought…

What if I made pumpkin ravioli that were actually mini pumpkin pies?

 
I call it–

Pie-sta!

 
You heard it here first, folks.
 

A twist on classic pumpkin ravioli, these mini pumpkin pies shaped like ravioli are delicious and simple to make. | Pumpkin Pie | Recipe | Pasta | Dessert | CulinaryGreat for Pinning Image Pin It Button

 

The resulting dish remarkably resembles a pumpkin ravioli pasta dish, but in reality they are mini ravioli-shaped pies, and they are so delicious.

Speaking of ravioli, have you seen my Cookie Cutter Ravioli from a few years ago?
 

Enjoy the flavors of fall year-round with this sweet and savory spiced dessert–pie crust filled with delicious pumpkin pie, topped with a melted ice cream sauce and toasted walnuts.

 

Pumpkin Pie Ravioli Step 1

 

Start by preparing the pie filling. Whisk the pumpkin pie seasoning, salt, and sugar into beaten eggs.

Whisk in pumpkin. I just used canned pumpkin (it’s kind of difficult to find fresh pumpkins in spring…).

 

Pumpkin Pie Ravioli Step 2

 

Slowly whisk in evaporated milk until the mixture is well-combined.

 

Pumpkin Pie Ravioli Step 3

 

Set aside and refrigerate.

Now for the crust. I just used pre-made, refrigerated pie dough. On a flour-dusted surface, let it sit out a few minutes, then you will want to dust the dough and a marble rolling pin with flour and thin out the dough. Give it a few good rolls until it is pretty thin, but be care not to let it rip.

 

Pumpkin Pie Ravioli Step 4

 

Cut small ravioli shapes in the dough. I used this ravioli-making kit to cut and press the ravioli shapes (honest–I had the idea before I saw this kit for mini pies and I knew I had to buy the set!).

 

Pumpkin Pie Ravioli Step 5

 

Using a clean paintbrush or a natural bristle pastry brush, wipe a small amount of beaten egg around the edges of the bottom piece of the ravioli-shaped pie crust then scoop or squeeze (using a pastry bag or sandwich baggie) a small amount of the pumpkin pie filling into the center. Be sure to leave yourself enough room that it will not all squeeze out when you press the top on. You may need to do a couple practice ones if you are not used to this.

 

Pumpkin Pie Ravioli Step 6

 

Set another piece of ravioli-shaped pie crust on top and gently press down the edges then use the ravioli maker top to seal the deal. If the filling oozes out a little, that’s okay, but don’t let too much get out or let the crust rip.

 


 

Pumpkin Pie Ravioli Step 8

 

Bake the ravioli pies on a baking sheet at 350°F for 10 minutes.

I placed the ravioli in a pie tin instead of on a plate to make eating them a little bit more fun.

 

Pumpkin Pie Ravioli with Walnuts

 

Toast a handful of chopped walnuts in the oven for a few minutes.

In a saucepan or microwavable bowl, heat up a scoop of vanilla ice cream until melted (I love the regular vanilla, not french vanilla, with specks; it looks like alfredo sauce.).
 

Plate your pumpkin pie ravioli, drizzle on the melted ice cream, and sprinkle on the toasted nuts.
