Mini Pumpkin Tarts
Yields: 15 tarts
Ingredients:
1 package mini Phyllo tarts (15 to a package)
3 oz canned pure pumpkin
1/3 frozen whipped topping, thawed (extra for garnish)
1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice (extra for garnish)
1.5 oz of cheesecake-flavor instant pudding mix
Mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Directions:
Remove the shells from the freezer and let them thaw at room temperature for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the pumpkin, whipped topping, and pumpkin pie spice in a medium bowl, whisking until smooth. Add the pudding mix and whisk until smooth and thick. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the filling into each of the shells (you can also pipe the filling with a pastry bag or a plastic sandwich bag with one corner snipped off), then top the tarts with whipped topping, a sprinkling of the pumpkin pie spice, and a mint leaf, if you like. Makes 15 tarts.
