Pumpkin Pie Tarts are by far my most favorite fall
dessert ever!
What I like best is that each tart is only 100 calories, so you know exactly how much you are eating and you don’t overdue on pie. You get just the right amount of flavor and are satisfied. At least I am.
The thing I like most about these tarts is the gingersnaps!! They add a nice little zing to the tarts. These are the ones I like to use.
The other thing I like to do is make my own Coconut Cream Whipped Topping. This stuff is AMAZE-BALLS! It’s all you can do to not stick you whole head in the bowl! I’ll post the link to that recipe as well.
My original recipe for the tarts came from the Nestle Very Best Baking site. Here is a link to the original recipe…
