Why You’ll Love These mini pumpkin tarts
- Last Minute: These no-bake mini pumpkin tarts are a simple solution for any last-minute event. Just like my pumpkin pudding (another last-minute favorite!), this recipe is simple to make, easy to eat, and full of the flavors of fall. Perfection.
- Easy: To make these mini pumpkin tarts, you need only 5 ingredients, all of which you can keep on hand in your pantry or freezer: canned pumpkin, frozen whipped topping, pumpkin pie spice, a box of instant pudding, and frozen mini pie shells. You can whip them up in less than a half hour. They’ll need to chill in your fridge for at least 20 minutes to set. They can be made a day ahead and will still be delicious.
I use a pastry bag and tip for making my tarts but alternatively, you could put the filling into a resealable bag, snip a small corner off, and pipe the filling into the shells. Or you could use a spoon and dollop the filling in.
At only 35 calories each, they won’t break the calorie bank, either, which is a good thing especially this time of year!
Plus, they are super cute, are they not?
