Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
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.

2
Preheat the oven

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.

3
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.

4
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.

5
Fill the tart shells

Pour the pumpkin filling into the tart shells, filling each about 3/4 full.

6
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.

7
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.

8
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!
