Mini Pumpkin Tartlets with Homemade Cinnamon Whipped Cream
My daughter came home with a book from her school library called “Fairy Tale Feasts” A literary cookbook for young readers & eaters. After reading the book and looking at all of the recipes, she decided to make these little mini pumpkin tartlets with homemade cinnamon whipped cream, and we had so much fun together. The combination of the spicy pie, the crunchy walnut topping, and the creamy whipped cream was fantastic. The whole family loved these mini pies and my daughter was filled with pride over her creation.
Mini Pumpkin Tartlets with Homemade Cinnamon Whipped Cream:
Pumpkin Filling:
- 7 oz of canned pumpkin (I used half of a 15 oz can)
- 1/4 cup of evaporated milk
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup of brown sugar
- 1/4 cup of white sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp ginger
- 1/8 tsp ground cloves
- 1/8 tsp nutmeg
- 2 tbsp walnuts
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp cold butter, diced
- 1 cup of heavy whipping cream
- Powdered sugar to taste
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
Other Ingredients:
- 2 pre-made pie crusts
How to Make Mini Pumpkin Tartlets with Homemade Cinnamon Whipped Cream
Make the pumpkin tartlets by combining all of the ingredients together in a bowl then mix thoroughly.
Make the walnut mixture by grinding the walnuts, brown sugar, and diced butter in a food processor. Pulse until it is crumbly. Set aside.
Make the cinnamon whipped cream by beating together the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, to taste, vanilla extract, and cinnamon with a hand mixer until the cream is thick and fluffy. Place into the refrigerator until needed.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Coat 2 mini muffin trays with cooking spray.
Prepare the crusts by laying the pie crusts out on a floured surface. Cut them into rounds using a cookie cutter or drinking glass upside down and push them down firmly. You should be able to get approximately 10 tartlet shells from each pie shell.
Gently press the rounds into the muffin tin. This is easier if you form them into a slight cup shape first so you don’t poke a hole through them.
Pour 1 tablespoon of the pumpkin filling in each shell. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of the walnut topping on top of each tartlet.
Place into the oven and bake for 13-15 minutes or until the pie crusts are golden brown. Let cool.
Serve topped with homemade cinnamon whipped cream. Enjoy.
