Yummy Mummy Pies
These mummy pies are so easy to make with only 4 ingredients! Best of all they’ll be a great way to sneak some extra servings of fruit into your Halloween treats this year. Oh, and did we mention they have NO added sugars?!
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Bake Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 8 / Calories: 115 per pie
Ingredients
- 1 (7.5 oz) premade (unbaked) pie crust
- 5 Levelle Energy Purées (pick one flavor, or mix it up!)
- 2 tbsp milk or dairy-free alternative (for brushing)
- 16 eyeball candies
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or tin foil.
- Unroll the pie crust and cut the edges off to form a square. Cut the square dough into 8 3 x 2-inch rectangles. Cut the remaining excess dough into thin 1 cm thick strips.
- Squeeze about 1 tbsp energy puree into the center of each rectangle and spread out with a knife, avoiding the outer edge.
- Place the thin strips of dough over top and use a fork to seal the edges.
- Brush the dough with dairy free milk and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Place the baked mummies on a cooling rack and add 2 candy eyeballs to each.
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar (optional) and serve!

Ingredients
Cake Pops
- 1 box of cake mix
- ½ cup of Levelle's Apples, Spice & Everything Nice energy gel, or approximately three (40g) pouches
- 1 cup dairy free milk (or water)
- 3 tbsp ground flaxseed (sub 1 tbsp flaxseed per 1 egg recommended by the cake mix) + 9 tbsp water
- ¾ cup of vanilla frosting (feel free to sub more purée for frosting to decrease sugar content and get a stronger “apple spice” flavor)
White Chocolate Covering
- 1 (9 oz) bag of vegan white chocolate melting wafers (or sub vegan white chocolate chips)
- 1-2 tbsp coconut oil (optional for thinning out chocolate)
Embellishments
- 30 candy eyeballs
- 1 Levelle Yes we Cran! Energy Purée (add as needed, for fake blood)
Instructions
- Preheat oven according to cake mix box instructions.
- In a large bowl combine ground flaxseed and water and let sit for 5 minutes (for gelatinization).
- Add Apples, Spice & Everything Nice energy gels, dairy free milk, and cake mix to the bowl and combine.
- Pour batter into a greased baking pan and place in the oven. Bake for time listed on the cake mix box.
- After baking, let the cake sit until cool enough to touch, but still slightly warm. Break up the cake with your hand, a fork, or an electric mixer in a large bowl.
- Add the icing and/or additional energy purée, stirring to combine (use your hands towards the end to achieve a dough-like consistency).
- Roll the cake mixture into 1-inch diameter balls and place on a wire cooling rack or parchment paper in the fridge for 20 minutes.
- Melt the white chocolate in a microwave safe bowl with optional coconut oil (for thinning out chocolate).
- Use a fork or skewer to coat the cake pops in the melted white chocolate, add a candy eyeball to each, then stick in freezer for 25 minutes (for chocolate to harden).
- Cut a small sliver off the corner of the Levelle energy purée (for precision) and drizzle over top of each cake pop (for eye veins and fake blood appearance).
- Plate and serve to your hungry little monsters!
