Ingredients

• 1 9-inch pie crust, store-bought or homemade
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
2. Press the pie crust into a 9-inch tart pan, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
3. In a saucepan, brown the butter over medium heat until it turns golden and releases a nutty aroma, about 5-7 minutes. Let it cool slightly.
4. In a large bowl, combine pumpkin puree, brown sugar, ground nutmeg, eggs, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
5. Gradually stir the cooled brown butter into the pumpkin mixture until well combined.
6. Pour the filling into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Allow the tart to cool on a wire rack before serving to enhance the flavors.
9. Slice and serve the Nutmeg Brown Butter Pumpkin Tart at room temperature.
