How To Make pumpkin pie tarts

  • Step 1
    For shells, cream butter, cream cheese and sugar; mix in flour to form a soft dough. Cover and refrigerate at least one hour or overnight.
  • Step 2
    Shape dough into 1 1/4 inch balls; in an ungreased muffin pan shape them to the muffin tin. Poke shells several times with a fork, then bake at 450 degrees for 10-12 minutes until golden. Cool several minutes in pan, then completely on a rack. (If needed I reshape the tartlets immediately after baking.) You can dust the inside with powdered sugar if you wish, but you do not have to.
  • Step 3
    For filling, mix pumpkin, dry pudding mix, milk, and spices. Fold in whipped topping
  • Step 4
    Pipe filling into each shell. Use a large baggie if you do not have a piping bag and tips and just swirl.
  • Step 5
    Keep refrigerated until ready to serve
