This whimsical Cheese & Cracker Pumpkin Pie recipe transforms simple cheddar cheese, crackers, and whipped cream cheese into a charming, bite-sized appetizer resembling a mini pumpkin pie. It’s perfect for festive gatherings, offering a playful and savory treat that’s both easy to assemble and visually delightful.

Ingredients

Scale

Cheese

  • 1 (8 oz) block Cheddar Cheese

Crackers

  • 12 Triscuit Thin Crisps
  • 12 Ritz Toasted Chips

Other

  • Whipped Cream Cheese (quantity as needed for assembling and decorating)

Instructions

  1. Cut the Cheese: Slice the cheddar cheese block in half lengthwise. Then cut the halves into alternating triangles that are roughly the same size as the Triscuit crackers to mimic pumpkin pie slices.
  2. Top the Triscuits: Place each cheddar cheese triangle on top of a Triscuit Thin Crisp, creating the base of the mini pumpkin pie slices.
  3. Prepare Cream Cheese Piping Bag: Transfer a desired amount of whipped cream cheese into a Ziplock bag and cut a small corner to make a makeshift piping bag.
  4. Assemble the Pie Tops: Break the Ritz Toasted Chips in half, leaving enough of one half intact so it stands taller than the back of the ‘pie’ slice.
  5. Glue the Pieces: Use the whipped cream cheese as edible glue to attach the broken Ritz chip halves onto the cheddar cheese triangles as the ‘pumpkin pie crust’ edge.
  6. Add the Whipped Cream Dollop: Pipe a small dollop of whipped cream cheese on top of each ‘pie’ slice to resemble whipped cream, finishing the festive look.

Notes

  • Use chilled cheese for easier slicing into neat triangles.
  • Adjust the size of the cheddar cheese triangles to fit the crackers perfectly.
  • The whipped cream cheese not only decorates but helps keep the cracker pieces intact.
  • This recipe is best served fresh to maintain cracker crispiness.
  • For a variation, try different flavored cream cheeses like herb or garlic for added taste.
