| |
Serves about
36
1/2 cup butter
3 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
2 eggs, well-beaten
3/4 cup canned pumpkin
1/4 teaspoon rum extract
1/2 cup frozen whipped dessert topping, thawed
coarsely chopped pecans
In mixing bowl blend butter and cream cheese; stir in flour.
Cover and chill for 1 hour. Pre-heat oven to 400 F. Form dough into 36
balls and place one in each tassie pan cup. Press with fingers or tart
former into bottom and up the sides of each cup, to form the shell. Bake
for about 10 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in pans. In saucepan
combine brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Stir in eggs,
pumpkin, and extract. Cook and stir over low heat for 2 to 3 minutes or
until thickened. Remove from heat; put in bowl, cover and chill
thoroughly. Fold in whipped dessert topping. Pipe or spoon 2 to 3
teaspoons pumpkin mixture into each tart shell. Garnish with coarsely
chopped pecans.
Quoting SweetLuci:Bet these are really cute of a dessert tray.
Yes! I'm thinking of making these for holiday gatherings along with the pumpkin cheesecake dip and pumpkin biscotti.

Have you ever made pecan tassies, like tiny pecan pies? They're great. I usually make them at Christmas along with macadamia nut tassies and lemon tassies.

Yes I have! They were one of my late grandmother's favorite.
Do you have a recipe for the lemon tassies?
