  • Pumpkin Puree: Both store bought and homemade pumpkin puree are fine here. If using homemade make sure it isn't too runny.
  • Sweetened Condensed Milk: Condense milk not only sweetens, but also helps the pie to hold its shape well. Win-win!
  • Pumpkin Pie Spice: Can't do without it! 😉
  • Egg yolk: To make the tart rich and creamy.
  • Salt: To balance the sweetness and bring out the flavor of pumpkin tart.
  • Ginger Bread Cookies: I used my homemade Gingerbread cookies for this tart. You may use store bought cookies here.
  • Melted Butter: For making the cookie crust.

How to make pumpkin tart?

There are two parts to this easy Pumpkin Tart recipe.

  1. Making the gingerbread crust
  2. Preparing the Pumpkin filling

To make the crust: We will add some melted butter to ground cookies, mix them well and press on the tart pan.

For the Pumpkin Filling: We will just mix all the filling ingredients together and pour over the pressed gingerbread cookie crust.

And the best part? We don't even need to pre-bake the crust. Can it get any easier!!!

Pumpkin tart faqs:

This mini Pumpkin Tart is the cutest dessert that you will ever eat!

Homemade pumpkin puree or canned pumpkin in Pumpkin filling

Honestly, I have tried making this tart with both homemade pumpkin puree and canned pumpkin. But I liked the texture and appearance of tart with canned pumpkin much better.

Can I substitute pumpkin pie mix for canned pumpkin?

If you are looking for an easy Thanksgiving Dessert, look no further, my Pumpkin Tart Recipe got you covered.

No, absolutely not! Pumpkin pie mix already has sugar added to it and we don't want any more sugar in out Pumpkin tart.

What can I use if I don't have a tart pan?

A pie plate of exact same measure will be a perfect substitute to bake this tart or any other tart recipe.

How do you unmold a tart?

You will adore this Easy Pumpkin Tart recipe with a spiced pumpkin filling that sits on my best gingerbread crust!

  • Allow the tart to cool down before attempting to unmold it
  • You will notice the tart is beginning to release from the sides.
  • To remove the tart pan rim with ease, place it on a pumpkin/beans can.
  • Now gently hold the pan rim and pull it downward to release the pie and reveal that pretty pattern.

My Pumpkin Tart is a perfect Fall Dessert with a well set Pumpkin filling and a buttery gingerbread crust.

Do you grease a tart pan?

  • If you are lining a tart pan, it isn't required.
  • If your tart pan is new, you won't need to grease it as crusts already have a lot of butter in it.
  • In every other case, yes you must grease your pan with a very thin coat of butter to help unmold your tarts easily.

      Hi Lydia! It's a 15 oz can that I use. You will need half a can of pumpkin for this recipe. 🙂
