Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 4 tablespoons ice water
• 1.5 cups pumpkin puree
• 0.75 cups brown sugar
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons ground ginger
• 0.125 teaspoons ground cloves
• 1 cup whipped cream, for serving (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture forms pea-sized crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing just until the dough holds together. Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.

Step 4

While the dough chills, prepare the filling by whisking together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, heavy cream, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves in a medium bowl until smooth.

Step 5

Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll it out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness. Use a round cookie cutter (3 to 4 inches in diameter) to cut out circles of dough.

Step 6

Gently press the dough circles into a greased muffin tin to form mini tart shells. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges.

Step 7

Fill each tart shell with the pumpkin filling, leaving a small gap at the top to prevent overflow.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the tarts from the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired. Enjoy!
