MINI PUMPKIN TARTS

Mini Pumpkin Tarts  @ treatntrick.blogspot.com


This satisfying Pumpkin Mini Pie is the perfect size to snack on by itself or enjoy as an elegant finish to any meal.

I love making pie dough from scratch. It's really not that hard. This  crust was easy to handle and tastes good too. You can use canned pumpkin if you like the traditional thick texture and sweetness but I like  using fresh cooked pumpkin. It is not overly sweet and much lighter. You can freeze cooked pumpkin for many months so you can still make this pie whenever you want.

5 tablespoon evaporated milk

Gradually add a tablespoon of ice water at a time, use your fingers to press the crumbs firmly together to form a ball of dough.

Wrap the dough in plastic,  chill for 30 minutes-1 hour.

For filling, combine sugar, cornflour, ginger and salt in small bowl. Stir in pumpkin and sugar mixture. Gradually stir in evaporated milk. 

Punch dough down, pinch dough into 1.5 in ball. Press each ball into  tart mold starting from the base, push the dough outward with your thumb, Trim away any excess dough.  Fill up  tart 3/4 full  with  pumpkin  filling.    Place almond pieces on top.  Preheat oven  @ 180C.

Oct-Nov are the months when everyone is giving an ode to the pumpkin!
The tart sounds wonderful and delicious. I am finding the addition of ginger very interesting. I have yet to try dry ginger powder in my desserts.

I get sick unto death of pumpkin flavored this-and-that by the time Thanksgiving rolls around, but these look tempting. Just PLEASE no pumpkin spice oreos. That is revolting!

These are so cute! I love individualized sized desserts since no one ever seems to want to be the first one to take a slice of a larger dessert.
