What's better than the familiar sight of a warm, homemade pumpkin pie as the Thanksgiving season rolls around? A bunch of adorable, bite-sized pumpkin pies, that's what. While a big slice of pie is both comforting and eye-catching, a miniature pie encapsulates all of the elements in a much more manageable portion. These tiny pumpkin pie bites are not only much cuter than their larger counterparts, but they're also easier to serve, and they're perfect for gifting or bringing to parties.

Loved for their ability to make any baked good more moist and rich, duck eggs are found in specialty grocery stores and farmers' markets alike. They are often larger than chicken eggs. And as a result, duck eggs will have a different ratio of yolk to white. This means they also have a higher fat content than chicken eggs, which makes custard creamier and silkier. Another bonus, depending on the recipe, is that duck eggs produce a brighter yellow color.

Whether that's pumpkin spice drinks, pumpkin soup, or pumpkin pie; this is truly the season of everyone's favorite big, orange gourd. It has become a seasonal comfort staple, and it's hard to deny the popularity. According to Grandview Research, pumpkin pie was a $1.59 billion industry in the United States in 2024, and it has been deemed the most popular Thanksgiving pie by YouGov.
