- Make the crust: put flour, brown sugar& pine nuts in a food processor and pulse until nuts are ground into a powder.
- Add shortening and butter, pulse until mixture resembles a coarse meal.
- Add the ice water, a tablespoon at a time, until mixture begins to pull away from the sides of the food processor and form a ball.
- If you have a tart shaper, roll the dough into balls the size of a large marble, place one in each mini-muffin cup, and press with tart shaper to form crust.
- If you don't have a tart shaper, roll the dough out to about 1/4" thick and cut with a circular cookie cutter, then press the circles of dough into the tart pan.
- Mix the egg, pumpkin, brown sugar, evaporated milk, ginger& salt.
- Stir until combined.
- Fill the tart crusts with the pumpkin mixture.
- Bake at 350 for 20 minutes, or until pumpkin mixture is firm and crusts are a golden brown.
- Let cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes, then remove tarts and place them on a wire rack to finish cooling.
- Remove the slice of ginger from the whipped cream, whip cream until soft peaks form.
- Place a dollop of cream on each tart, and top with a tiny bit of minced candied ginger.

I grew up in California and now live in Seattle Washington,and I really love it here! I've been cooking since I was about 10 and still enjoy cooking till this day. I don't really have a favorite food as I enjoy many different dishes. I do really enjoy cooking on a smoker, the taste is out of this world. I also enjoy barbecue, Italian, Mexican and Chinese just to name a few. As you will notice I also enjoy taking pictures of dishes I make, there's nothing like getting that great shot. Thank you for stopping in, I hope you enjoy my site!
