Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the pre-made tart shells on a baking tray lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, egg, brown sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
Use a whisk to blend the ingredients together until smooth and well incorporated.
Carefully spoon the pumpkin mixture into each tart shell, filling them about 3/4 of the way to prevent overflow during baking.
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.
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.
If desired, top each tart with a dollop of whipped cream and a light dusting of powdered sugar before serving.
Enjoy your Light and Spicy Pumpkin Pie Tarts as a delightful individual dessert or snack!
