Pumpkin and Pecan Tart
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup ice water
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- In a food processor, combine 1 1/4 cups of flour, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Add the cold butter pieces and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- While pulsing, gradually add the ice water until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer the dough to a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Press the dough into the pan and trim any excess. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork and line with parchment paper. Fill with pie weights or dried beans and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the weights and parchment paper, then bake for an additional 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup of pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of ginger, 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon of cloves, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Gradually stir in 3/4 cup of heavy cream until smooth.
- Pour the pumpkin filling into the cooled tart crust. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of chopped pecans evenly over the top.
- Bake the tart for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. Allow the tart to cool completely before serving. Enjoy!
