Pumpkin Cheesecake Tarts are delicious layers of cream cheese, pumpkin and whipped cream. A terrific no bake fall dessert.
I can’t believe we’ve already had our 1st snowfall of the year. What’s up with that, the beginning of September. At least the snow didn’t stay and it is starting to warm up again. The joys of living in Alberta! What I do love about fall is the wonderful harvest of fall fruits and vegetables. Bring on the amazing smell of pumpkin and apples and the terrific spices that go with them. These Pumpkin Cheesecake Tarts make a tasty fall treat.
With that lovely snap of cold weather it got me thinking about fall and holiday recipes. Such a great time of year with all the fall fruit and veggies to harvest. This recipe for Pumpkin Cheesecake Tarts is a snap to make and only requires baking of the tart shells. Make your own Tart Shells (see my recipe) or simplify things with store bought ones. These tarts have a yummy cream cheese layer, topped with a pumpkin pudding layer, finished with a dollop of whipped cream! Another great pumpkin dessert to try is my exceptional recipe for Pumpkin Bread Pudding.
