Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Pumpkin Tarts

  • 1 double-crust pie dough, store-bought or homemade. This is my favorite.
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 can pumpkin puree, 15 ounces, (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream, room temperature
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • Homemade Whipped Cream, optional

For the Whipped Cream

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  2. Roll out pie dough to about 1/8 inch in thickness. Using a 4 inch round cookie cutter, cut out rounds of dough. Place dough circles in muffin tin cups, using your fingers to press the dough into the bottom and up sides of each cup.
  3. Mix the filling ingredients in a large bowl with a hand or stand mixer.
  4. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, fill each muffin cup with the filling.
  5. Bake for approximately 15 minutes and reduce heat to 350 degrees. Bake for approximately 15 more minutes until centers are set.
  6. Transfer muffin tins to wire racks and allow tarts to cool for 15 minutes. Using a small offset spatula, gently remove tarts from muffin tins and allow to finish cooling.

For the Whipped Cream

  1. Add whipping cream to a large mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, mix whipping cream on low speed, gradually increasing to medium speed as cream begins to thicken. Add the sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and cornstarch and beat on high speed until whipping cream forms medium stiff peaks.
  2. Place dollops of whipped cream on tarts just before serving.

Notes

  • Pies can be left at room temperature for up to two days. Refrigerate whipped cream.
