• Preheat oven to 375°F. For the Mini Pumpkin Pies, unroll crusts on lightly floured surface. Using a 3 1/2-inch round cutter, cut out 6 rounds from each crust. Re-roll scraps as necessary. Press dough rounds into muffin pan sprayed with no stick cooking spray. Set aside.
• Mix pumpkin, milk, eggs, pumpkin pie spice and vanilla in large bowl until smooth. Pour into crusts, filling each almost to the top.
• Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until filling is set. Cool completely in pan on wire rack.
• Meanwhile, for the Vanilla Whipped Cream, beat cream, confectioners’ sugar and vanilla in medium bowl with electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. Serve mini pies with Vanilla Whipped Cream and sprinkle with additional pumpkin pie spice, if desired.

Cut slits in top., Bake until golden brown and a thermometer inserted in filling reads 160°, 30-35 minutes. Cool 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack.
