Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

For dough
1/2 cup whole almonds with skin (2 1/2 oz), toasted
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch each of ground ginger, cardamom, cloves, white pepper, and freshly grated nutmeg
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg
For pumpkin filling
3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon mild molasses
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon each of ground cinnamon, mace, cloves, and freshly grated nutmeg
1 3/4 cups canned solid-pack pumpkin (15 oz) or fresh pumpkin purée
2/3 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons pine nuts
Accompaniment: red-wine caramel sauce
Special Equipment
a 10- by 1-inch fluted round tart pan with removable bottom; pie weights or raw rice

Steps:

  • Make dough:
  • Pulse almonds, flour, baking powder, salt, and spices in a food processor until nuts are very finely ground.
  • Beat together butter and sugar with an electric mixer until pale and fluffy, then beat in egg. Add flour mixture in 2 batches, mixing at low speed just until a dough forms. Form dough into a disk and chill, wrapped in plastic wrap, until firm, at least 2 hours.
  • Whisk together brown sugar, eggs, molasses, salt, and spices. Whisk in pumpkin, then cream.
  • Assemble and bake tart:
  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface with a floured rolling pin into a 12-inch round. (Dough will be sticky, so rotate frequently and dust surface with flour as needed.) Slide bottom of tart pan under dough and set into rim of tart pan. Press dough against side of pan and trim excess. (Dough cracks easily but can be patched.)
  • Line shell with foil and fill with pie weights. Bake in lower third of oven until dough is set and pale golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Carefully remove foil and weights, then add custard, spreading evenly. Sprinkle top with pine nuts and bake until filling is set, 30 to 35 minutes. (If edge of crust is browning too quickly, cover edge with foil or a piecrust shield.) Cool completely in pan on a rack.
  • Remove rim of tart pan, leaving tart on pan bottom, and transfer to a platter.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my tart didn't turn out as well as I hoped. The custard was a bit too runny, and the caramel sauce was too thick. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I'm going to try making it again soon.

This tart was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. The pumpkin custard was smooth and creamy, and the red wine caramel sauce was rich and flavorful. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the caramel sauce if you don't

I'm not a big fan of pumpkin, but I thought I would give this tart a try. I'm so glad I did! The tart is delicious, and the red wine caramel sauce is the perfect complement to the pumpkin custard. I will definitely be making this again.
