Description

Mini Gluten-Free Pumpkin Tarts bursting with fall flavors that are so simple to make and so good. Made with a gluten-free crust and a creamy pumpkin spice filling. Topped with toasted meringue.


Ingredients

For the Crust

  • 3 cups gluten-free rolled oats
  • 2/3 cup pecans
  • 8 tbsp coconut oil, solid
  • 6 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 tbsp ground flax seeds

For the Pumpkin Filling

  • 1 packet unflavored gelatin
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
  • 2 tsp pumpin pie spice
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt

For the Meringue Topping

  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Instructions

For the Crust

  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. 
  2. In a food processor, combine all ingredients and process until coarsely ground. Press the mixture into the bottom and sides of 6 mini tart pans.
  3. Bake for 10-15 minutes until golden. Allow to cool.

For the Pumpkin Filling

  1. In a large saucepan, stir the gelatin, pumpkin spice and salt. Whisk until combined.
  2. Add the condensed milk and beaten eggs and whisk until fully incorporated. Allow to sit for a couple of minutes.
  3. Turn the heat on low and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid mixture from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  4. Add pumpkin and stir until fully combined. Remove from heat and allow to cool before pouring onto mini crusts.
  5. Chill for 4 hours, preferably overnight.

For the Meringue Topping

  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, on low speed, whisk the egg whites and salt until frothy.
  2. Add the cream of tartar and increase the speed to medium. Beat for another 2 minutes.
  3. Add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, and beat at medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. About 5-8 minutes.
  4. Scrape the meringue into a large piping bag, fitted with a star tip, and pipe meringue onto tarts.
  5. Before serving, use a kitchen torch to carefully brown the meringue tips.

Notes

– Store leftover tarts refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
