Ingredients

Scale

Tart Shell

  • Pie Crust Sheets: store-bought or homemade, enough to line tart molds

Pumpkin Filling

  • 1 cup Pumpkin Puree
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • Pinch of Salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Tart Shells: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a muffin or tart pan. Gently press the pie crust sheets into each mold, trimming any excess. Ensure each shell is evenly pressed to avoid cracking during baking.
  2. Mix the Pumpkin Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree, eggs, sweetened condensed milk, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk everything until smooth and well incorporated to create a pumpkin pie custard.
  3. Fill the Tart Shells: Pour the pumpkin filling evenly into each prepared tart shell, filling them about three-quarters full to allow room for the filling to set without overflowing.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Place the tart pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. Check doneness by gently shaking the tart pan; the filling should jiggle slightly but not be liquid.
  5. Cool Before Serving: Let the tarts cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps the filling firm up for the best texture and easier handling.

Notes

  • Use cold pie crust sheets for flakier tart shells.
  • Do not overfill tart shells to prevent overflow and messy edges.
  • Mix spices thoroughly with pumpkin puree for even flavor distribution.
  • Rotate the tart pan halfway through baking to ensure even cooking.
  • Let tarts cool completely before slicing and serving to avoid filling sliding out.
