Preheat oven to 350°.  Mix ingredients together until incorporated.  Pour into measuring cup; set aside.  Mix 4 oz of softened cream cheese with 1/4 c of powdered sugar; set aside.  Unroll a premade pie crust on a lightly floured work surface.  Using a 3-inch cutter, cut out rounds of dough and press into a greased mini-muffin tin.  Spoon 1/2 t of the cream cheese mixture into the bottom of the pies.  Pour the pumpkin mixture on top and fill to the top of the crust.  Bake for 20-25 minutes.
