Mini Sugar Cookie Cream Pie
By María Fernanda López
Serves 10-12
Ingredients
1 sheet of gluten-free pie puff pastry dough
1 package of cream cheese, softened
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 cup powdered monk fruit sweetener
Toppings:
1-2 cups Truwhip Original whipped topping
Sugar cookies, crumbled
Christmas sprinkles
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, blend the softened cream cheese with the vanilla and almond extracts. Gradually mix in the powdered monk fruit until completely smooth, then fold in the Truwhip Original whipped topping until well combined.
Unroll the gluten-free puff pastry and use a glass or biscuit cutter to create 10-12 mini pie shapes. Place them into greased muffin tins.
Bake for 11-13 minutes or until golden. Once out of the oven, carefully press the center with a spoon or glass to create space for the filling.
Generously fill each mini pie with the creamy mixture, add additional Truwhip Original whipped topping on top, sprinkle with crumbled sugar cookies and festive Christmas sprinkles. Enjoy!
