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.
