Mini Pumpkin Tarts 迷你南瓜塔
Mini tarts are suitable for any occasion and these Mini Pumpkin Tarts are quite easy to make and easy to eat because of the size. You can half-bake the tart shells a day ahead and chill them in the fridge overnight, then make the filling the next day. Overall these mini tarts are quite fragrant because of the added almond and they are not overly sweet. Definitely impressive when they are served to your guests.

Beautiful tarts! I want to make too. Or maybe more to eat 😀 Maybe I should make sweet potato tarts. Love the almond flakes there. make the tarts look much prettier.

yumm, looks so pretty 🙂
These tarts looks real divine with those pumpkin fillings in them. Looks like I've to move somewhere nearer to u so that I can hop over for a treat 🙂
These Mini Pumpkin Tarts are so cute and so gorgeous! They would be perfect for parties, or any occasion. I would just make them for Kids' afternoon tea. 😛
Good Day AnnI made the mini pumpkin tarts using your recipe last Saturday. My sister, neighbour and friends gave the thumbs-up, esp. the pumpkin filling.Thank you for the good recipe. I just bought another big orange pumpkin at Giant Supermarket at 10 cents per 100 gms and will make again. I usually buy local or Malaysia pumpkins but happened to see this huge orange type (do not know country of original). Hope the pumpkin puree will be as good as the one I used last Saturday.BlessingsPriscilla Poh
Hi Priscilla, I'm soooo happy to receive your feedback that your family and friends liked these pumpkin tarts.I think the pumpkin that you bought was imported from Australia or USA. The first time that I made these pumpkin tarts was using the pumpkin from Australia, it was a bit drier than the Malaysian pumpkin. But the end result was good too.
Hi Ann
Do i need mixer to cream the butter? And can i change the butter to margarine?
Kind regards,
Nelly
Hi Nelly, Yes use the mixer to cream the butter. Can use magarine if you prefer.
Hello, I do not have ground almond at home. Is there anything I can substitute with in order to make the filling?
Hi, If you have almond flakes, you can blend them to powder as ground almond or ground hazelnut can also be used.
Hi Ann,With one each mouthful, I reckon these mini tarts can disappear very quickly in our house.Zoe
These tarts look delectable , Ann ! The crust looks perfectly-baked and a good base for the velvety smooth pumpkin 🙂
