Ingredients
  

For the Pumpkin Filling
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree Use fresh or high-quality canned pumpkin.
  • 2 pcs eggs
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice Can substitute with cinnamon or nutmeg.
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
For the Tart Shells
  • 12 pcs Premade tart shells Or use homemade pastry.
For Assembly
  • 1 tablespoon caramel sauce Approximately per tart shell.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the tart shells: If using premade shells, place them on a baking sheet. For homemade pastry, roll out the dough and carefully line your tart pans.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, eggs, heavy cream, pumpkin spice, and brown sugar to make the pumpkin filling.
  4. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of caramel sauce into each tart shell, spreading it evenly.
  5. Carefully pour the pumpkin filling over the caramel layer, leaving a slight gap at the top.
Baking
  1. Place the tarts in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes (or 35-40 minutes for a large tart) until the filling is set and slightly puffed.
  2. Allow the tarts to cool completely before removing them from the pans.
Serving
  1. Drizzle with extra caramel sauce and sprinkle a pinch of pumpkin spice on top. Add whipped cream if desired.

Notes

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to a month. Chill tarts to help them set properly.
