PUMPKIN TARTS



Pumpkin Tarts image

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.

Time 2h25m

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 19

12 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 pound butter, softened
¼ cup white sugar
4 cups all-purpose flour
12 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
3 eggs
2 cups solid pack pumpkin
1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup butter
½ cup vegetable shortening
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 (16 ounce) package confectioners' sugar
1 (7 ounce) jar marshmallow creme
1 cup finely chopped pecans, divided

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.

PUMPKIN TARTS



Pumpkin Tarts image

you can use canned pumpkin if you like the traditional thick texture and sweetness of store-bought pumpkin pie. I like using fresh cooked pumpkin as it's not overly sweet and much lighter and fluffier that way, almost like a mousse. you can freeze cooked pumpkin for many months so you can still make this outside of autumn, just be sure to drain it well when you thaw it. can also be made into a single-crust pie, just increase the cooking time to about an hour. new way to play with this: make just the filling in custard cups or muffin tins and serve with ice cream and butterscotch!

MINI PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE TARTS



Mini Pumpkin Cheesecake Tarts image

Make and share this Mini Pumpkin Cheesecake Tarts recipe from Food.com.

Provided by Karen..

Categories     Cheesecake

Time 20m

Yield 45 tarts

Number Of Ingredients 5

45 prebaked frozen miniature phyllo tart shells (like Athens Mini Fillo Shells)
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin
2 cups frozen whipped topping, thawed (plus extra for garnish)
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (plus extra for garnish)
1 (3 1/2 ounce) package cheesecake flavor instant pudding and pie filling mix

Steps:

  • Remove the shells from the freezer and let them thaw at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the pumpkin, whipped topping, and pumpkin pie spice in a medium bowl, whisking until smooth. Add the pudding mix and whisk until smooth and thick.
  • Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the filling into each of the shells (you can also pipe the filling with a pastry bag or a plastic sandwich bag with one corner snipped off), then top the tarts with whipped topping and a sprinkling of the pumpkin pie spice, if you like.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pumpkin: Look for a small, sugar pumpkin that is deep orange in color and feels heavy for its size.
  • Roast the pumpkin: Roasting the pumpkin intensifies its flavor and makes it easier to puree.
  • Use a food processor to puree the pumpkin: This will give you a smooth, consistent puree.
  • Add spices to the pumpkin puree: Common spices used in pumpkin tarts include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
  • Use a pre-made pie crust: This will save you time and effort.
  • Blind bake the pie crust: This will prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
  • Pour the pumpkin mixture into the pie crust: Be careful not to overfill the crust.
  • Bake the tart: The tart is done baking when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the tart cool completely before serving: This will allow the filling to set.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin tarts are a delicious and festive dessert that are perfect for fall. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make a pumpkin tart that will impress your family and friends.
