Ingredients

• 12 pieces Pre-made tart shells (2-inch diameter)
• 1 cup Pumpkin puree
• 0.5 cup Evaporated milk
• 1 large Egg
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.125 teaspoon Ground cloves
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
• 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Place the pre-made tart shells on a baking tray lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, egg, brown sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.

Step 4

Use a whisk to blend the ingredients together until smooth and well incorporated.

Step 5

Carefully spoon the pumpkin mixture into each tart shell, filling them about 3/4 of the way to prevent overflow during baking.

Step 6

Bake the tarts in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly puffed around the edges. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.

Step 7

Remove the tarts from the oven and let them cool on the tray for 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

If desired, top each tart with a dollop of whipped cream and a light dusting of powdered sugar before serving.

Step 9

Enjoy your Light and Spicy Pumpkin Pie Tarts as a delightful individual dessert or snack!
