I suggest making these Pumpkin Pie Bites the day you plan on serving them, which is easy since they come together (including bake time) in about 20 minutes (or less). If you leave the leftovers in the fridge for longer than a day the phyllo shells get soft and they lose the crispy texture. If you’re making them for yourself at home and only planning to eat a few at a time, there’s an easy solution for this! Just make the filling and only fill and bake a few at a time. Refrigerate the leftover filling until you want more. The cream cheese in these makes them really rich and thick and creamy but you can’t taste it, so don’t worry if you aren’t a cheesecake fan – the flavor here is all pumpkin.
