Ingredients
50 g softened unsalted butter
55 g powdered sugar
150 g cake flour
1 egg
100 g pumpkin puree
180 g heavy cream
40 g condensed milk
3 egg yolks
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Soften the butter and add it to a mixing bowl. Stir in the powdered sugar and mix until smooth.
- Add the egg to the mixture and mix until smooth and well incorporated.
- Gradually add the cake flour and mix until the dough comes together. Knead it gently until smooth.
- Flatten the dough into a disk, wrap it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill.
- Shape the crust: Once chilled, divide the dough into 9 equal parts. Roll each part into a small ball.
- Take 9 cupcake liners (about 6 cm in diameter) and press the dough into the bottoms and sides of each liner, forming a tart crust.
- Prepare the filling: In a clean bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, condensed milk, and egg yolks together until well combined.
- Pour the pumpkin filling evenly into each tart shell, filling the cups nearly to the top.
- Bake the tarts: Preheat the oven to 356℉ (180℃). Place the tarts in the oven and bake for 35 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly golden on top.
- Cool and serve: Once baked, remove the tarts from the oven and let them cool on a cooling rack before serving.
Notes
- For a spiced version, add a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger to the filling.
- For a vegan version, use dairy-free butter, coconut cream, and egg substitutes like flax eggs.
- Top the tarts with whipped cream, caramel drizzle, or toasted pecans for added flavor and texture.
