Steps:
- Spray 2 (24 count) mini muffin trays with nonstick cooking spray.
- Soften the gelatin in a small bowl by combining it with the cold water, stirring with a fork.
- Set aside.
- Heat the cream in a small pot over low heat until hot but not simmering. Remove it from the heat and whisk in the softened gelatin. Set aside and let cool to room temperature.
- In the bowl of a standing mixer, add the cream cheese and beat until smooth. Add the brown sugar, 2 teaspoons of the pumpkin pie spice, salt, and vanilla. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add the sour cream, maple syrup and pumpkin pie filling. Mix until well blended. Slowly drizzle in the heavy cream and gelatin mixture.
- Evenly divide the pumpkin filling among the 2 muffin tins, about 1 1/2 tablespoons per muffin. Once all of the cups are filled put a ginger snap cookie onto the pumpkin filling in each tin. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.
- To remove, put some hot water in a sheet tray. Put the muffin tins in the hot water for 30 seconds. Arrange a clean sheet pan on top of the muffin tin and invert. Carefully lift the muffin tray up to release the tarts. Arrange them on a serving platter.
- In a chilled bowl add the cream, powdered sugar, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon of the pumpkin pie spice. Beat with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form. Put a teaspoon dollop of whipped cream on top of each tart before serving.
PUMPKIN TARTS
Recently, I was asked to bake for a wedding and asked if I could make this dessert. I was so excited when I realized this was a recipe I had been looking for, but had never found. I was thrilled at how awesome they tasted when you bite into them. How could they not taste good with all that cream cheese? When my friend came to pick up the tarts, she ate 4 before she ever left my house.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Make the pastry dough by creaming together 12 ounces of cream cheese with 1 pound of butter and the sugar in a large bowl until thoroughly blended. Mix in the flour, a little at a time, until the dough is workable. Cut the dough into 4 equal-sized pieces, roll the pieces into balls, and refrigerate until needed.
- To make the filling, mash 12 ounces of cream cheese with brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl until smooth and well combined; beat in eggs, one at a time, incorporating each egg before adding the next one. Mix in the pumpkin, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract until the filling is smooth.
- Cut each dough ball in half, and cut each half into 12 pieces (96 total pieces). Working in batches, press each small piece of dough into the bottom and up the sides of mini muffin cups. Fill the little crusts almost to the top with the pumpkin filling. Refrigerate unused dough until you need it to make the next batch.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the filling is set and the crusts are lightly golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Allow to cool completely before frosting.
- Mash 1/2 cup of butter, the shortening, and 8 ounces of cream cheese together in a bowl until thoroughly combined, and mix in the confectioners' sugar and marshmallow creme until smooth and creamy. Spread or pipe the frosting onto the cooled tarts. Sprinkle each tart with a few chopped pecans. Refrigerate until serving.

Tips:
- For the perfect pumpkin puree, roast your own pumpkin. Simply cut a pumpkin in half, scoop out the seeds, and roast face down on a baking sheet at 425°F for 45 minutes to an hour, or until the flesh is tender. Scoop the flesh out of the skin and mash it until smooth.
- If you don't have time to make your own pumpkin puree, you can use canned pumpkin puree. Just be sure to choose a brand that is unsweetened and has no added spices.
- Don't overmix the tartlet batter. Overmixing will make the tartlets tough.
- Be careful not to overcook the tartlets. They should be set but still slightly wobbly in the center.
- For the perfect bruleed marshmallows, use a kitchen torch to evenly brown the tops of the marshmallows. Be sure to keep the torch moving so that the marshmallows don't burn.
- Serve the tartlets immediately, while the marshmallows are still warm and gooey. You can also store the tartlets in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just be sure to reheat them before serving.
Conclusion:
These pumpkin tartlets with bruleed marshmallows are the perfect fall dessert. They're easy to make and they're always a hit with everyone who tries them. The creamy pumpkin filling is perfectly complemented by the sweet and fluffy marshmallows. And the bruleed topping adds a touch of elegance. So next time you're looking for a delicious and impressive dessert, give these pumpkin tartlets a try. You won't be disappointed.
