Ingredients

Scale

Filling Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice blend (cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves)

Base

  • 12 ready-made mini tart shells

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, condensed milk, vanilla extract, salt, and pumpkin pie spice until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This will be your luscious tart filling.
  2. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) so it’s ready to bake your tarts evenly and perfectly.
  3. Fill the Tart Shells: Spoon the filling carefully into each pre-made tart shell, filling them about three-quarters full to allow space for the filling to set and puff slightly while baking.
  4. Bake the Tarts: Arrange the filled tarts on a baking tray and bake for 15–20 minutes or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center, indicating a perfect custard consistency.
  5. Cool and Serve: Let the Pumpkin Pie Egg Tarts cool in their tray for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature for best flavor.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients to ensure a smooth, lump-free filling.
  • Do not overfill tart shells to prevent spills and ensure even baking.
  • Watch the baking time closely to avoid drying out the custard; remove when just set but still slightly wobbly.
  • Taste the filling before baking and adjust spices as desired for preferred flavor intensity.
  • Cool tarts before storing to keep shells crisp and prevent sogginess.
