These bite-size treats are great for a dessert buffet and are incredibly easy to make
Ingredients
- 3 packages (15 tarts each) prebaked frozen mini pastry shells (we used Athens Mini Fillo Shells)
- 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin
- 2 cups (plus extra for garnish) frozen whipped topping, thawed
- 1 teaspoon (plus extra for garnish) pumpkin pie spice
- 1 (3.4-ounce) package cheesecake-flavor instant pudding and pie filling
- Mint leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
- 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 45 tarts.
