For a deeper, more complex flavor, consider using freshly grated nutmeg and ginger in addition to the pumpkin pie spice. If you prefer a less sweet tart, reduce the amount of brown sugar by 1/4 cup. To prevent the tart shells from becoming soggy, ensure they are lightly baked before adding the filling. These tarts can be made a day ahead of time. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. For an elegant presentation, dust the tarts with a light coating of powdered sugar before serving.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepArrange the unbaked tart shells on baking sheets, ensuring they are evenly spaced. (2 minutes)
03
StepBake the tart shells in the preheated oven for 1 minute to lightly set the pastry. Remove from the oven, but leave the oven on. (2 minutes)
04
StepIn a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, eggs, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined. (5 minutes)
05
StepCarefully pour the pumpkin mixture evenly into each of the pre-baked tart shells, filling them almost to the top. (5 minutes)
06
StepBake the tarts in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Then, rotate the baking sheets and continue baking until the filling is set, approximately 12 minutes more. The filling should be firm around the edges but with a slight jiggle in the center. (22 minutes)
07
StepRemove the tarts from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. (10 minutes)
08
StepOnce cooled, refrigerate the tarts for at least 1 hour to allow the filling to set completely and the flavors to meld together beautifully. (60 minutes)
09
StepBefore serving, garnish each tart with a delicate swirl of whipped cream, if desired. Arrange the tarts on a serving platter and present these delightful Pumpkin Patch Tarts to your eagerly awaiting guests.
