PUMPKIN TARTS



Pumpkin Tarts image

Recently, I was asked to bake for a wedding and asked if I could make this dessert. I was so excited when I realized this was a recipe I had been looking for, but had never found. I was thrilled at how awesome they tasted when you bite into them. How could they not taste good with all that cream cheese? When my friend came to pick up the tarts, she ate 4 before she ever left my house.

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 19

12 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 pound butter, softened
¼ cup white sugar
4 cups all-purpose flour
12 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
3 eggs
2 cups solid pack pumpkin
1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup butter
½ cup vegetable shortening
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 (16 ounce) package confectioners' sugar
1 (7 ounce) jar marshmallow creme
1 cup finely chopped pecans, divided

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Make the pastry dough by creaming together 12 ounces of cream cheese with 1 pound of butter and the sugar in a large bowl until thoroughly blended. Mix in the flour, a little at a time, until the dough is workable. Cut the dough into 4 equal-sized pieces, roll the pieces into balls, and refrigerate until needed.
  • To make the filling, mash 12 ounces of cream cheese with brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl until smooth and well combined; beat in eggs, one at a time, incorporating each egg before adding the next one. Mix in the pumpkin, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract until the filling is smooth.
  • Cut each dough ball in half, and cut each half into 12 pieces (96 total pieces). Working in batches, press each small piece of dough into the bottom and up the sides of mini muffin cups. Fill the little crusts almost to the top with the pumpkin filling. Refrigerate unused dough until you need it to make the next batch.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the filling is set and the crusts are lightly golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Allow to cool completely before frosting.
  • Mash 1/2 cup of butter, the shortening, and 8 ounces of cream cheese together in a bowl until thoroughly combined, and mix in the confectioners' sugar and marshmallow creme until smooth and creamy. Spread or pipe the frosting onto the cooled tarts. Sprinkle each tart with a few chopped pecans. Refrigerate until serving.

PUMPKIN TARTS



Pumpkin Tarts image

you can use canned pumpkin if you like the traditional thick texture and sweetness of store-bought pumpkin pie. I like using fresh cooked pumpkin as it's not overly sweet and much lighter and fluffier that way, almost like a mousse. you can freeze cooked pumpkin for many months so you can still make this outside of autumn, just be sure to drain it well when you thaw it. can also be made into a single-crust pie, just increase the cooking time to about an hour. new way to play with this: make just the filling in custard cups or muffin tins and serve with ice cream and butterscotch!

Tips:

  • Use the right pumpkin. The best pumpkins for pies and tarts are sugar pumpkins or pie pumpkins. These pumpkins are small, sweet, and have a dense flesh. If you can't find a sugar pumpkin, you can use a butternut squash or a kabocha squash. Butternut squash has a milder flavor than sugar pumpkin, and kabocha squash is a bit sweeter.
  • Roast the pumpkin before using it. Roasting the pumpkin intensifies its flavor and makes it easier to puree. To roast a pumpkin, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Cut the pumpkin in half, remove the seeds, and place it cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the pumpkin is tender. Let the pumpkin cool slightly before pureeing it.
  • Use a food processor to puree the pumpkin. A food processor will give you the smoothest puree. If you don't have a food processor, you can use a blender or a potato masher. But be sure to puree the pumpkin until it is very smooth.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make it tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help it to hold its shape better when it is baked. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out.
  • Bake the tarts until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. The tarts are done baking when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin patch tarts are a delicious and festive fall treat. With a flaky crust and a creamy pumpkin filling, these tarts are sure to be a hit with your family and friends. Follow these tips to make the best pumpkin patch tarts possible. With a little effort, you can create a truly special dessert that everyone will love.
