Yield Makes one 11-inch round tart

Number Of Ingredients 15

All-purpose flour, for work surface
1/2 recipe Pate Brisee for Pumpkin-Pecan Tart
1 egg white, lightly beaten
1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of coarse salt
3/4 cup light-brown sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of coarse salt
4 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into small cubes and chilled
1 1/2 cups pecan halves
Sweetened whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Make the crust: On a lightly floured work surface, roll pate brisee into a 14-inch round. With a dry pastry brush, sweep off excess flour; fit dough into an 11-inch-round tart pan with a removable bottom. Fold edges toward center to reinforce; press into sides of tart pan. Prick bottom of tart shell all over with the tines of a fork. Cover with plastic wrap; chill tart shell until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • 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.

I would not recommend this recipe to anyone. It's a lot of work for a very mediocre result.

This recipe is a waste of time and ingredients. The tart was a complete disaster.

The tart was a bit too runny. I think I might have undercooked it.

I had some trouble getting the crust to stay together. I think I might have over-mixed the dough.

The tart was a little dry, but the flavor was good. I think I would add more butter to the crust next time.

This tart was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I would recommend using less sugar in the filling if you don't like your desserts too sweet.

This pumpkin pecan tart was a huge hit at my Thanksgiving dinner! The crust was flaky and buttery, and the filling was smooth and creamy. The pecans added a nice crunch and a nutty flavor. I will definitely be making this again next year.
