My Favorite Pumpkin and Pecan Tart
I was planning to bake a pecan tart for Thanksgiving day, but my boyfriend told me suddenly he wanted to eat pumpkin pie, so I had to change my plan! I made this gorgeous dessert with both pecan nuts and pumpkin, and the result was so delicious.
The tart crust may crack easily after you take it out from the oven at Step 7, so handle with care. I personally feel the wheat germ biscuit tart crust is the best match with the filling. It is easier to make if you use the already baked tart crust. Spread with generous amounts of the jam and amaretto mixture, to make the tart taste much better. Recipe by dreamy-kitten

Cooking Instructions
- 1
[Tart crust] Put the crushed biscuits, butter, and milk in the food processor, and mix until smooth.
- 2
If you don't have a food processor, put the biscuits in a plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Transfer the biscuits to a bowl and add the melted butter and milk. Mix until evenly blended.
- 3
Put the biscuit mixture in the tart pan with a removable bottom, and press hard with your hand or a spoon. If you use a fluted tart pan, make sure to fill the biscuit mixture up to the edge, leaving no gaps.
- 4
[Pumpkin filling] Microwave the kabocha squash until soft. Remove the rind and mash. Strain the kabocha squash to a paste.
- 5
Add the cottage cheese, egg, sugar, and rum (optional) to the paste. Mix with a whisk or hand blender until smooth.
- 6
Pour the pumpkin filling into the tart crust you made in Step 3, and smooth out the surface. Lightly tap the pan several times on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
- 7
Bake in a preheated oven at 180℃/360°F for about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven.
- 8
[Nut filling] Lightly roast the pecan nuts. Heat the butter in a small sauce pan over medium heat to melt. Add the ♦ ingredients.
- 9
Heat the mixture while stirring for a few minutes until it thickens. Add the nuts and stir to coat the nuts evenly.
- 10
Pour the nut filling into the tart from Step 6, and smooth out the surface. Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes. It's done. Adjust the baking time if necessary.
- 11
Strain the apricot jam if it is lumpy. Mix the jam with amaretto. - 12
While the tart is still hot, brush a generous amount of the mixture over the tart using a pastry brush. This tart will look like the photo when sliced.
- 13
[Note] Using a tart pan with a removable bottom is recommended. Use any type of pecan nuts; either whole pecan nuts or crushed ones. I used the whole nuts as the photo shows.

Chestnut Tart Chestnut Tart
I saw a chestnut tart in my neighborhood bakery that looked really good, but I thought I could make it myself. I combined almond and chestnut cream for a double nutty kick.I used Bonne Maman's creme de marron (chestnut cream). The cream is sweet, so I held back on the sugar. While baking, keep an eye on it and adjust the temperature as necessary. The tart will easily crumble while hot, so make sure to completely cool before taking out of the pan. Recipe by Yossy -

For Fall or Halloween: Kabocha Squash Tart For Fall or Halloween: Kabocha Squash Tart
A cake shop featured on a local TV program showed a delicious looking kabocha squash tart, and said that they "simmered the kabocha squash in syrup," so I tried to recreate it.The key is to pile the kabocha squash up high on top of the tart. It will look extravagant! There are so many steps in the instructions that I had to cut the tart making instructions, so I borrowed user "Yukirain's" recipe.I used a kabocha squash variety called "Chestnut marron". For 15 cm [5.9 in] diameter tart pan. Recipe by Junshimu -
Rich and Easy Chestnut Tart with Healthy Tart Crust Rich and Easy Chestnut Tart with Healthy Tart Crust
Because I received a lot of chestnuts as gift.If you are using candied chestnuts for the paste, you will not need to add any sugar. The milk could be substituted with soy milk or heavy cream, whichever you have on hand. Candied or fresh chestnuts that are simmered in sugar water can be substituted for the shibukawani (chestnuts simmered in their inner skins). Try not to use hard, uncooked fresh chestnuts!

Easy and Tasty Kabocha Tarts Easy and Tasty Kabocha Tarts
My sister taught me this recipe and it was so delicious that I craved it again and begged for the recipe. It's delicious, and yet very simple to make.I recommend you use "Kuri kabocha squash" -western kabocha. If there's not enough liquid for the blender, try adding milk. If the squash is too soggy, on the other hand, evaporate the liquid when microwaving. For one 18 cm [7.1 in] sized tart pan worth. Recipe by Usaumaosaruno mama -

Easy and Quick Tart Easy and Quick Tart
My daughter loves tarts. She often suddenly says, "I want to eat a tart!" so I baked this tart that didn't use any butter and could be made quickly whenever.The salt in the tart crust is the secret. It really matches well with the sweet custard cream filling. If you make the crust bottom too thin during Step 2, it may crack when you pour in the custard cream. You can always bolster the sides later with leftover crust dough (see Step 4) but be sure to roll the dough out evenly. Recipe by Nekozame -
Warm and Cozy Easy Sweet Potato Tart Warm and Cozy Easy Sweet Potato Tart
Caramelized sweet potatoes, simmered dishes, tempura, etc. Even though I have cooked so many sweet potato dishes, I still had some leftover.So I used a little twist and turned them into a tart!You can enjoy the different level of sweetness from different types of sweet potato.It makes me so happy to eat this tart with hot milk .If it's hard to roll out the tart crust, put it between cling film and then roll out. Don't overcook the sweet potatoes for the topping. If you don't have baking weights, you can use adzuki beans or rice instead. This tart crust tastes better after half a day than when it's just baked. Be patient! Once you've put the sweet potato filling in the tart, you can keep it in the fridge for 3 days.
