Categories     dessert

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 cups finely chopped gingersnaps (about 60)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 pound cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch of nutmeg
Pinch of allspice
Pinch of ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup pureed pumpkin
2 large eggs

Steps:

  • To make the crust: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. In a mixing bowl, combine the gingersnap crumbs with the melted butter and toss together until the mixture clumps together. Add an additional tablespoon of butter if necessary. Pat the mixture into the base and slightly up the sides of eight 4 1/2inch tartlet pans. Bake for about 7 minutes, or until crisp.
  • To make the filling: Press the grated ginger against the mesh of a fine sieve into a small bowl, pressing hard to extract all the juice. Set the ginger juice aside and discard the pulp. In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine cream cheese, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, ground cloves, and salt. Beat until creamy and well combined, then add the ginger juice and the pumpkin puree and beat again. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after you add the first one, but do not over beat the mixture. Pour the filling into the tart pans and return them to the oven. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the center is just firm to the touch. Cool to room temperature, then chill for up to 2 hours or overnight before serving.

Overall, I thought these tarts were just okay. I wouldn't go out of my way to make them again.

These tarts were a bit too time-consuming to make. I don't think I'll be making them again.

The crust on these tarts was a little soggy. I think I'll bake it for a few minutes longer next time.

These tarts are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll cut back on the sugar next time.

I added a little bit of nutmeg to the filling and it really enhanced the flavor.

I made these tarts gluten-free by using a gluten-free gingersnap crust. They turned out great!

I'm not a huge fan of pumpkin pie, but I really enjoyed these tarts. The crust is amazing and the filling is just the right amount of sweetness.

The gingersnap crust adds a really nice touch to these tarts. It's a great way to use up leftover gingersnaps too.
