Time 1h55m

Yield 6 to 8 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 1/2 cups crushed thin Swedish ginger cookies, (about 55 to 60 cookies)
6 tablespoons butter, melted
1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree, organic if possible
3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
2 large egg yolks
Pinch salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Put a 9-inch removable-bottom fluted tart pan on a baking sheet.
  • Make the crust by combining the ginger cookie crumbs and melted butter in a large bowl, until well blended. Add the crumbs to the tart pan and evenly press over the bottom and up the sides with the bottom of a measuring cup. Bake until set and a bit darker in color, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, condensed milk, egg yolks and salt until well blended. Pour the filling into the cooled crust, return to the oven, and bake until set and beginning to brown on the top, about 30 minutes. Remove tart from the oven, cool to room temperature and then chill in the refrigerator, at least 1 hour or until ready to serve.
  • To serve, carefully remove outer tart shell ring and slice. Eat and enjoy!
  • NOTE: Any crushed gingersnap cookie will do; just be sure to use 2 1/2 cups crumbs for the crust.

Tips:

  • For the perfect flaky crust, use a combination of butter and shortening. The butter adds flavor, while the shortening helps to keep the crust tender.
  • Make sure the butter and shortening are very cold before you start working with them. This will help to prevent the crust from becoming greasy.
  • Work the dough quickly to avoid overworking it. Overworking the dough will make it tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the dough from shrinking in the oven.
  • When rolling out the dough, use a light touch. Don't press down too hard, or you will end up with a tough crust.
  • Bake the crust in a preheated oven. This will help to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
  • For the perfect pumpkin filling, use fresh pumpkin puree. Canned pumpkin puree can be used, but fresh pumpkin puree has a much better flavor.
  • Make sure the pumpkin puree is smooth before you add it to the other ingredients. Any lumps will make the filling grainy.
  • Add the spices to taste. You can use more or less of each spice, depending on your personal preference.
  • Bake the tart until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. This will take about 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Conclusion:

This ginger pumpkin tart is the perfect fall dessert. It's easy to make, delicious, and sure to impress your guests. The combination of ginger and pumpkin is a classic, and the flaky crust and creamy filling make this tart irresistible.
