Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

For pastry:
Sweet pastry dough
1 tablespoon anise seeds
Pumpkin filling:
1 1/2 cups pure pumpkin (from a 15-ounce can; not pie filling)
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
Pinch of ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/3 cups heavy cream
Equipment: an 11-by 1 1/4-inch fluted round tart pan (1 1/4 inch deep) with a removable bottom; pie weights or dried beans
Accompaniment: lightly sweetened whipped cream

  • Prepare dough, adding anise seeds to dry ingredients, and chill as directed in dough recipe. Roll out dough into a 14-inch round on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin, then fit into tart pan and trim excess dough. Chill until firm, at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F with rack in middle.
  • Lightly prick bottom of shell with a fork, then line with foil and fill with pie weights. Bake shell until side is set and edge is pale golden, about 15 minutes.
  • Remove foil and weights and bake shell until golden all over, about 15 minutes more. Cool completely in pan. Leave oven on.
  • Fill and bake tart:
  • Whisk together pumpkin, sugar spices, and salt in large bowl. Whisk in eggs, then cream.
  • Pour filling into cooled tart shell and bake until puffed about 1 1/2 inches from edge and center is just set, 40 to 45 minutes. (Cover edge of tart with foil if browning too quickly.) Cool in pan, about 2 hours. (Tart will continue to set as it cools.)

This tart was easy to make and turned out beautifully! The crust was flaky and golden brown, and the filling was creamy and smooth. The anise seeds added a nice touch of flavor. I will definitely be making this tart again!

This tart is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I would probably reduce the amount of sugar in the filling next time.

The anise seed crust was a bit too strong for my taste, but the filling was delicious. I would probably omit the anise seeds next time.
