Coconut Sugar
230 g
Cold Unsalted Butter
115 g
Ice Water
1/2 cup

Instructions
1
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2
Process the flour, baking powder, salt, and 1 tbsp of coconut sugar in a food processor. Through the shoot, slowly drop in the butter cubes, pulsing as you do so, until a pea-sized crumble forms. Then, slowly add the ice water while the food processor runs until a dough forms. You may not need all the water, so watch the dough closely. Roll the dough into a ball and divide it by two until you get 20 equal pieces.
3
Roll out each pastry portion into a circular shape about ⅛ - ¼ inch thick. Use a 3.5-inch cookie cutter to clean up the edges if desired. Place 18 circles on the baking sheets and set the remaining two circles aside. Cut the remaining circles into ¼-inch strips, which will be the mummy wraps. Set the strips on the baking sheets beside the circles and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
4
Preheat the oven to 425℉.
5
Meanwhile, whisk the remaining coconut sugar, pumpkin purée, egg, egg yolk, cashew milk, vanilla extract and cornstarch together.
6
Remove the baking sheets from the fridge and add 1 ½ tbsp of pumpkin filling on each circle, leaving ¼-inch space around the edges. Layer the strips over each circle to make the mini pies look like mummies. Press the strips into the ¼-inch space around the pastry circles and trim the excess.
7
Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool for 10 minutes.
8
Place two candy eyeballs on each pumpkin pie mummy. Serve and enjoy!

Substitutions & Options to Omit: Dairy-free? Use your favourite dairy-free butter. Psst…you can make these a few weeks earlier for Thanksgiving by omitting the candy eyes and making a lattice pattern with the strips.
