Time 45m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
3/4 cup very firmly packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup solid-pack pumpkin puree
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon table salt
1 large egg yolk
1 large egg
3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoon finely chopped crystallized ginger (more for garnish)
whipped cream (to garnish) (optional)

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 325°F
  • In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and brown sugar with a stand mixer or handheld mixer on medium speed until smooth and lump-free,about 3 minutes.
  • Add the pumpkin,cinnamon, ginger, and salt and continue beating until well blended, about 1 minute.
  • Add the egg yolk, egg, and vanilla and beat until just incorporated.
  • Sprinkle the chopped crystallized ginger over the batter and stir it in with a rubber spatula.
  • Use the spatula to scrape the filling into the crust and spread evenly.
  • Bake the tart until the filling just barely jiggles when the tart pan is nudged, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Transfer the tart to a rack and let cool completely. Refrigerate the tart in the pan until chilled and firm, about 3 hours.
  • Garnish with whipped cream and crystallized ginger.
