Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Mini tart shells (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup Pumpkin puree
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 4 oz Cream cheese (softened)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 tsp Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 tsp Ground ginger
- 0.33 cup Toffee bits
- 1 cup Whipped cream (for topping)
- 0.25 tsp Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange the mini tart shells on a baking sheet.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, softened cream cheese, and granulated sugar until smooth.
Add the egg to the mixture and whisk until fully incorporated. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
Stir in the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt to create a spiced pumpkin filling.
Carefully spoon the pumpkin mixture into each tart shell, filling them evenly but not overflowing.
Place the tarts in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly puffed. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely.
While the tarts are cooling, prepare the toffee topping by warming the heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally and bring to a simmer.
Remove the cream from heat, then stir in the toffee bits until fully melted and smooth. Let the mixture cool slightly.
Once the tarts are fully cooled, drizzle the toffee sauce over the pumpkin filling, creating a decorative pattern.
Top each tart with a dollop of whipped cream and an extra sprinkle of toffee bits for garnish, if desired.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.
