The Eli’s Cheesecake Co., Chicago, introduced mini pumpkin pies for foodservice and in-store bakeries.
Easy to re-pack or sell individually in service cases, these mini pies entail a custardy, lightly-spiced filling made with pumpkins from Stahlbush Island Farms, Willamette Valley, Ore., then baked in Eli’s proprietary all-butter crust and sprinkled with coarse sugar.
