Pumpkin Spice Caramel Tarts (Print Version)

Flaky shells filled with spiced pumpkin and caramel, perfect for fall gatherings or cozy weekends.

# Ingredients:

→ Filling

01 - 1 cup (240g) pumpkin puree
02 - 2 eggs
03 - 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
04 - 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
05 - 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar

→ Tart Shells

06 - Premade tart shells or homemade pastry

→ Caramel Sauce

07 - Caramel sauce (about 1 tablespoon per tart shell)

# Directions:

01 - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
02 - If using premade shells, place them on a baking sheet. For homemade pastry, roll out the dough and carefully line your tart pans.
03 - In a medium bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, eggs, heavy cream, pumpkin spice, and brown sugar.
04 - Spoon about 1 tablespoon of caramel sauce into each tart shell, spreading it evenly.
05 - Carefully pour the pumpkin filling over the caramel layer, leaving a slight gap at the top.
06 - 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.
07 - Allow the tarts to cool completely before removing them from the pans.
08 - Drizzle with extra caramel sauce and sprinkle a pinch of pumpkin spice on top. Add whipped cream if desired.

# Notes:

01 - Blind bake the tart shells if making your own pastry to prevent sogginess.
02 - Chill the tarts before serving to deepen the flavors.
03 - If the edges of the tart shells brown too quickly, cover them with strips of foil.
