This gingersnap pumpkin tart recipe is holiday favorite. A chewy-soft spiced tart shell filled with a silk smooth pumpkin pie filling and topped with candied ginger. It's the perfect union of a pumpkin pie and a spiced ginger cookie. We recommend using a tart pan with a removable bottom for best results.

Shopping List
    Crust
  • 4 cups gingersnap cookie crumbs (we use these ones)
  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 14 tablespoons non-dairy butter, melted
  • 6 tablespoons coconut sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger Filling
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup evaporated coconut milk (Note 1)
  • 1/2 cup cane sugar
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • candied ginger pieces, for topping
Instructions
  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350℉. To make the crust, pulse the gingersnap cookies, coconut sugar, cinnamon, and ground ginger until powdery. Add the almond flour and melted butter and pulse until combined. The mixture should feel crumbly, but will hold if pressed together with your fingers.
  2. Step 2: Spoon the crumbs into the 12 ungreased mini-tart pans (we use these ones) or use 2 ungreased 8-inch tart pans (we use these ones). Use your hands to pack the gingersnap crumbs evenly along the bottom and up the sides of the tart pan. It will take a bit of patience, but keep working it. There will probably be a few extra leftover crumbs (makes a great yogurt topping).
  3. Step 3: Place the tarts in the oven and place a rimmed baking sheet directly below. These tarts will likely release liquid, so the pan will catch any drips. Bake for 8 minutes. Place on a cooling rack with a baking sheet underneath and cool the crust at least 10 minutes.
  4. Step 4: For the filling: Bring the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, cinnamon, ground ginger, nutmeg, and salt to a simmer over medium heat in a saucepan. Stir often for 2 to 3 minutes, or until well combined. Set aside and let cool at least 10 minutes.
  5. Step 5: Whisk the cane sugar, coconut sugar, eggs, and yolk until smooth in a bowl. Add the cooled pumpkin mixture and stir until combined. Place the tart pans on a baking sheet and pour in the filling almost to the top. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the center jiggles only slightly.
  6. Serve: Cool on a cooling rack for several hours before serving, or refrigerate up to 1 day in advance. Sprinkle the candied ginger over the middle of the tarts once chilled.
Recipe Notes

Note 1: No evaporated coconut milk? Easily make your own by simmering a can of full-fat coconut milk over medium heat until it reduces to 1 cup (about 30 minutes).
