Time 1h45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 2/3 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup shortening
7 to 8 tablespoons cold water
1 can (23 oz) sweet potatoes, drained and 2 tablespoons syrup reserved
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
3 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup evaporated milk
Whipped topping or whipped cream, if desired

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425°F. In large bowl, mix flour and 1 teaspoon salt. Cut in shortening, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until particles are size of small peas. Sprinkle with cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork until all flour is moistened and pastry almost cleans side of bowl (1 to 2 teaspoons more water can be added if necessary).
  • Divide pastry in half. Roll each half into 13-inch rounds. Using individual 4 1/2-inch foil tart pan as a guide and cutting 1/2 inch wider all the way around, cut each pastry round into 4 (5-inch) rounds. Fit pastry rounds in bottom and just up to top edge of 8 individual 4 1/2-inch foil tart pans. Place tart pans on large cookie sheet. Bake tart shells 3 to 4 minutes or until dry; cool.
  • Cut pastry scraps into small leaf shapes or other fall shapes. Place cutouts on another cookie sheet; sprinkle with small amount of granulated sugar if desired. Bake 6 to 7 minutes or until golden brown; cool.
  • In food processor, place sweet potatoes and 2 tablespoons reserved syrup. Cover and process until smooth. Spoon into large bowl. Add brown sugar, eggs, pumpkin pie spice and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Beat with wire whisk until smooth. Stir in evaporated milk. Pour into partially baked tart shells.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 375°F. Bake 25 to 35 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. Remove from pans. Place on individual dessert plates. Garnish with pastry leaves and whipped topping.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my tarts turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked them.

These tarts are so easy to make and they're always a crowd-pleaser. I love that I can make them ahead of time and just pop them in the oven when I'm ready to serve.

These tarts are the perfect way to use up leftover sweet potatoes. I always make a double batch so I can have some to freeze for later.

I'm not a big fan of sweet potato, but I really enjoyed these tarts. The brown sugar topping was the perfect touch.

I made these tarts gluten-free by using a gluten-free pie crust. They were just as delicious as the traditional version.

These tarts were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them.

The recipe was easy to follow and the tarts turned out beautifully. I would recommend using a good quality sweet potato for the best flavor.

These sweet potato tarts were a hit at my Thanksgiving dinner! The brown sugar topping was perfectly caramelized and the filling was creamy and flavorful. I will definitely be making these again.
