Ingredients

  • Chilled pie crust, brought to room temperature
  • Pureed pumpkin
  • Granulated sugar
  • Evaporated milk
  • Egg
  • Pumpkin spice mix
  • Sour cream (daisy brand)
  • Confectioner’s sugar

Step 1: Prepare the Pie Crusts

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Unroll one pie crust on a work surface and gently pat it out to an 11-inch circle.

Using a 2 1/2-inch cutter, cut out 12 circles from the dough.

Fit each circle into 12 miniature muffin cups, pressing them into the bottom and up the sides.

Repeat this process with the remaining pie crust.

Bake the prepared crusts for 10 minutes.

Step 2: Prepare the Pumpkin Filling

While the crusts are baking, beat together the pumpkin, granulated sugar, evaporated milk, egg, and pumpkin pie spice in a medium bowl until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

This will form your filling for the tartlets.

Step 3: Fill and Bake the Tartlets

Once the crusts are done baking, take them out of the oven.

Spoon a rounded tablespoon of the pumpkin filling mixture into each crust.

Place the filled tartlets on the bottom rack of the oven and bake for 13 to 18 minutes, or until the tartlets are golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 4: Cool the Tartlets

After baking, allow the tartlets to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.

Carefully remove them from the muffin cups and transfer them to a cooling rack.

Let them cool completely, which should take approximately 1 hour.

Step 5: Prepare and Add the Topping

While the tartlets are cooling, mix the sour cream and powdered sugar in a small bowl until well combined.

Just before serving, spoon a small dollop of the sweetened sour cream onto each tartlet.

Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
