Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather your tart pans.
  2. If using store-bought tart shells, place them in the pans. For homemade, roll out dough, cut to size, and fit into pans. Blind bake for 10-15 minutes.
  3. Combine pumpkin puree, heavy cream, and pumpkin spice in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir for 5 minutes until warmed and fragrant.
  4. Drizzle a layer of caramel sauce over the cooled tart shells.
  5. Pour the pumpkin filling over the caramel in each shell, filling three-quarters full.
  6. Bake the filled tarts for 25-30 minutes until set around the edges but slightly jiggly in the center.
  7. Cool for at least 10-15 minutes in the pan, then refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
