Ingredients

Filling

  • 1 container (15 oz) whole-milk ricotta, drained
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Crust

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 375°F.
  • 2
    In a large bowl, whisk 1 container (15 oz) whole-milk ricotta, drained until smooth. Whisk in 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, and stir until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • 3
    In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons sugar, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 2 teaspoons ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves and 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg. Set aside until ready to use.
  • 4
    On lightly floured surface, unroll pie crusts. Sprinkle each side of crust with spice blend. Roll a rolling pin over the crusts to press the spices into the dough. Cut dough into 2-inch rounds using a biscuit cutter. Press each dough round into a mini muffin cup.
  • 5
    Bake about 8 minutes, or until pastry cups are golden brown. Cool completely in pans, about 15 minutes. Remove from muffin cups to cooling racks.
  • 6
    Add chilled filling to a piping bag. Pipe filling into each cooled cup. Sprinkle with any remaining spice blend and crushed gingersnap cookies, if desired.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    If you don’t have a piping bag, place filling in a zip-top plastic bag and cut a small hole in one corner. Use as you would a piping bag to fill each cup.
