Description
This Dark Chocolate Pumpkin Tart is a rich and dreamy fall dessert that combines a deep chocolate crust with a creamy pumpkin filling. Easy to prepare and perfect with a dollop of whipped cream, it is a delicious twist on classic pumpkin pie.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup dark cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 (15 ounce) can pure pumpkin
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Spray a 9-inch round tart pan with a removable bottom with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, dark cocoa powder, sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center and add the melted butter. Stir until a crumbly dough forms.
- Press the dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared tart pan. Place the tart pan on a baking sheet and bake the crust for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
- While the crust cools, whisk together the pumpkin, sweetened condensed milk, egg, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until smooth.
- Pour the pumpkin filling into the cooled crust and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 10 minutes at 425°F. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and continue baking for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the tart cool for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.
- Serve with a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
Notes
- Store the tart covered in the refrigerator.
- Allow the tart to cool completely before slicing for cleaner pieces.
- A removable-bottom tart pan makes it easier to remove and serve the tart.
- Serve chilled or allow it to sit at room temperature briefly before serving.
- Whipped cream makes a delicious topping for this rich chocolate and pumpkin dessert.
