Calories: 171kcal
Ingredients
- nonstick cooking spray
For Filling:
- 2 large eggs
- 1 (15-ounce / 425 grams) can pumpkin puree
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar (light or dark)
- 3 tablespoons milk (2%, whole, or dairy free)
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
For Pastry Crust:
- ¾ cup (170 grams) unsalted butter, at room temperature (12 tablespoons)
- 4 ½ ounces (128 grams) cream cheese, at room temperature (½ cup + 1 tablespoon)
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Equipment
- 2 Muffin Pans (nonstick works best)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spray muffin pan with nonstick spray, then set aside.
Prepare Filling:
- Lightly beat eggs with a whisk.
- Add pumpkin puree, brown sugar, milk, pumpkin pie spice, and salt to eggs. Whisk until smooth. Set aside.
Prepare Pastry:
- Using a fork, combine butter, cream cheese, flour, and salt. Mix until crust clumps together and you're able to form it into a ball.
- Shape pastry into a flattened circle about 1 ½ to 2 inches thick.
- Cut circle in half, then cut each half into three wedges. Cut each wedge into three equal pieces. (You should have 18 pieces total).
- Place a piece of pastry in each muffin cup. Use fingers to press dough into bottom and up side of cup.
- Divide filling evenly between muffin cups (about 1 heaping tablespoon each).
- Bake tarts until pastry is golden brown (about 12 to 15 minutes).
- Let tarts cool, then serve plain or topped with whipped cream. Enjoy!
Notes
If you don't have two muffin pans, you can prepare this recipe in two batches. Just be sure to let the tarts cool for at least 30 minutes before removing them from the pan.
This recipe is sized for a regular-size muffin pan. If you use a jumbo or mini pan, the proportions will be off.
To remove tarts from pan, carefully slide a thin knife (or fork) between the tart and the muffin pan. The tarts should pop out easily if you used a nonstick pan.
If you'd like to make your own Pumpkin Pie Spice, stir together the following spices:
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
