Steps:
- Heat oven to 375°F. Mix flour, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and 1/4 teaspoon salt in medium bowl. Cut in butter, using pastry blender or crisscrossing 2 knives, until particles are size of small peas. Stir in pecans. Reserve 1/4 cup crumbs for topping; set aside. Sprinkle remaining crumbs with cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork until all flour is moistened and pastry almost leaves side of bowl.
- Gather pastry into a ball; shape into flattened round on lightly floured surface. Roll pastry into round 2 inches larger than upside-down 9-inch pie plate with floured rolling pin. Roll pastry loosely around rolling pin and transfer to pie plate. Unroll pastry and ease into plate, pressing firmly against bottom and side. Trim overhanging edge of pastry 1 inch from rim of plate. Fold and roll pastry under, even with plate; flute.
- Beat pumpkin, eggs, evaporated milk, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, the pumpkin pie spice and 1/2 teaspoon salt in medium bowl with electric mixer on medium speed or mix with wire whisk until smooth. Pour into pastry-lined pie plate.
- Bake 30 minutes. Mix reserved crumbs with brown sugar in small bowl. Sprinkle over partially baked pie. Cover edge of crust with 2- to 3-inch strip of foil to prevent excessive browning; remove foil during last 15 minutes of baking. Bake 20 to 25 minutes longer or until knife inserted near center comes out clean. Cool completely, about 2 hours.
- In chilled small bowl, beat whipping cream and 3 tablespoons brown sugar with electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. Serve pie topped with whipped cream.

- Make the crust: On a lightly floured work surface, roll pate brisee into a 14-inch round.

- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Uncover and line chilled tart shell with parchment and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Transfer to oven and bake until crust is set in pan, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove weights and parchment and continue baking until bottom of crust is lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Brush crust with egg white and let stand 5 minutes.
- Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees.
- Make the filling: In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin, condensed milk, eggs, cinnamon, and salt. Pour filling into cooled tart shell; transfer to oven and bake until slightly set, about 15 minutes.
- Make the topping: Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix together brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt; using a pastry blender or your hands, mix in butter until mixture is crumbly. Add pecan halves and mix to combine.
- Remove tart from oven and reduce temperature to 350 degrees. Sprinkle topping over filling and return tart to oven; bake until topping is dark golden-brown and center is bubbling slightly, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool. Serve with whipped cream.

Tips:
- Choose the right pumpkin. For the best flavor, use a sugar pumpkin or a small pie pumpkin. These pumpkins have a sweet, dense flesh that is perfect for baking. Avoid using large, carving pumpkins, as they have a watery flesh that will make your tart runny.
- Roast the pumpkin before using it. Roasting the pumpkin brings out its natural sweetness and makes it easier to puree. To roast the pumpkin, cut it in half, scoop out the seeds, and place it cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast the pumpkin at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until it is tender. Let the pumpkin cool slightly before handling it.
- Use a food processor to puree the pumpkin. A food processor will give you the smoothest puree. If you don't have a food processor, you can use a blender or a potato masher, but the puree may not be as smooth.
- Don't overmix the filling. Overmixing the filling will make it tough. Stir the ingredients together just until they are combined.
- Let the tart cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and firm up.
Conclusion:
Pumpkin tart with pecan crust is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for fall. With its rich, creamy filling and crunchy pecan crust, this tart is sure to be a hit at your next gathering. Follow these tips for the best results.
