One of the most beloved symbols of the fall and the holiday season is a good old classic dessert: pumpkin pie.

It is one of the most popular holiday desserts, and we’re creeping closer to its peak consumption time – Thanksgiving!

However, I understand that pumpkin pie, while delicious, can get a bit boring. Plus, when you’re in charge of bringing the tasty dessert to a Friendsgiving party or larger Thanksgiving gathering, slicing it traditionally can get messy, and some people can get too greedy when serving themselves a piece, leading to some guests missing out.

So, if you’re looking for some more interesting or fun ways to serve pumpkin pie at your next Thanksgiving dinner or holiday event, we’ve found a hack just for you.

Brantly Wyatt (@brantlywyatt_), a TikTok content creator, recently shared her fun hacks to get two desserts out of one big Costco pumpkin pie.

Brantly starts her video by showing her viewers how to make super cute pumpkin pie bites that are perfect for a holiday party, as they’re evenly portioned and easy to assemble.

Brantly simply takes a biscuit cutter to cut circle-shaped pieces out of the middle of a large Costco pumpkin pie, then assembles them on a 2-tier serving stand and tops them with a dollop of whipped cream.

“Don’t worry, we’re not going to waste the rest of the pie,” explains Brantly in her video.

“I am using it to make pumpkin truffles.”

Next, Brantly takes all the leftover hunks of pumpkin pie and adds them to her stand mixer, along with a block of cream cheese. She mixes everything together until the mixture resembles something similar to cake-pop dough.

Brantly then spoons out the dough into truffle-sized balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and places it in the freezer for 30 minutes. Finally, she dips the balls into melted white chocolate and lets them set so the chocolate can harden. And that’s it!

With Brantly’s helpful hacks, you can get two creative and delicious dessert options for your next holiday gathering out of one pie. How cool is that?

Happy holidays, and enjoy!
