• A delightful homemade whipped cream topping
• Perfect for fall gatherings and holidays

Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg yolk
• 2-3 tablespoons cold water
• 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
• ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
• ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon ground ginger
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for whipped cream)

How to Make Pumpkin Tart with Whipped Cream

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the chilled butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Add the egg yolk and cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
4. On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Press the dough into the pan and trim any excess. Prick the bottom with a fork.
5. Bake the crust for 15 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
6. In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
7. Pour the pumpkin filling into the baked tart shell and smooth the top.
8. Bake the tart for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly puffed. The center may still have a slight jiggle.
9. Let the tart cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
10. To make the whipped cream, beat the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar in a mixing bowl until soft peaks form.
11. Serve slices of the chilled pumpkin tart topped with a generous dollop of whipped cream.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your butter is well-chilled for a flaky crust.
• Don’t skip the chilling time for the dough; it helps prevent shrinking during baking.
• For a spiced twist, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or anise to the filling.
• Use fresh pumpkin puree for a more robust flavor if desired.

Easy Variations

• Substitute the whipped cream with a cream cheese frosting for a different flavor profile.
• Add a layer of chocolate ganache beneath the pumpkin filling for a chocolate-pumpkin tart.
• Top the tart with a sprinkle of crushed pecans or walnuts for added texture.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream
• Freshly brewed coffee or chai tea
• Caramel sauce drizzled on top
• Sliced apples or pears for a refreshing contrast
