Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

For pastry:
Sweet pastry dough
1 tablespoon anise seeds
Pumpkin filling:
1 1/2 cups pure pumpkin (from a 15-ounce can; not pie filling)
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
Pinch of ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/3 cups heavy cream
Equipment: an 11-by 1 1/4-inch fluted round tart pan (1 1/4 inch deep) with a removable bottom; pie weights or dried beans
Accompaniment: lightly sweetened whipped cream

Steps:

  • Make tart shell:
  • Prepare dough, adding anise seeds to dry ingredients, and chill as directed in dough recipe. Roll out dough into a 14-inch round on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin, then fit into tart pan and trim excess dough. Chill until firm, at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F with rack in middle.
  • Lightly prick bottom of shell with a fork, then line with foil and fill with pie weights. Bake shell until side is set and edge is pale golden, about 15 minutes.
  • Remove foil and weights and bake shell until golden all over, about 15 minutes more. Cool completely in pan. Leave oven on.
  • Fill and bake tart:
  • Whisk together pumpkin, sugar spices, and salt in large bowl. Whisk in eggs, then cream.
  • Pour filling into cooled tart shell and bake until puffed about 1 1/2 inches from edge and center is just set, 40 to 45 minutes. (Cover edge of tart with foil if browning too quickly.) Cool in pan, about 2 hours. (Tart will continue to set as it cools.)

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of anise, but I'm so glad I did! The anise seeds are not overpowering at all, and they actually add a really nice flavor to the tart. The crust is also amazing. It's flaky and buttery,
