Steps
Read instructions and get ready to cook
Make the pastry dough
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Cut in the cold unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the ice water, stirring with a fork until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
Roll out the dough
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8-inch thickness. Using a 4-inch round cookie cutter, cut out 12 circles. Press each circle into the prepared muffin tin, forming a tart shell.
Make the pumpkin filling
In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, corn syrup, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger until smooth.
Fill the tart shells
Pour the pumpkin filling into the tart shells, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake the tarts
Bake the tarts for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and the pastry is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Make the whipped cream cheese
In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the heavy cream and powdered sugar, beating until stiff peaks form.
Serve
Top each cooled pumpkin spiced butter tart with a dollop of whipped cream cheese. Serve and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures in these fall-inspired treats!
