Ingredients:
  • 24 frozen sweet shortcrust tart cases
  • 500g butternut pumpkin, peeled, deseeded
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 90.00 gm brown sugar
  • 40.40 gm pouring cream
  • 1 orange, rind finely grated
  • 1 tube black decorating gel
  • 1 tube white decorating gel
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place the tart cases, still in their foil trays, on 2 oven trays. Bake for about 10 minutes until the pastry turns a light golden color. Allow them to cool before moving on.
  • Cut the pumpkin into 1.5cm pieces and arrange in a single layer on a microwave-safe plate. Cover and microwave on HIGH for 5 minutes until soft. Drain and transfer to a bowl. Mash the pumpkin until smooth using a potato masher or fork. Add egg, sugar, cream, and orange rind, stirring to combine. Pour the mixture into a jug.
  • Gently pour the pumpkin mixture into the tart cases to fill completely. Bake for 15 minutes or until the filling is set. Allow it to cool completely before serving.
  • Pipe spirals on top of the 12 tarts using black decorating gel. Drag a toothpick from the center of each spiral to the edges of the tart in a straight line to create a spider web pattern. Repeat the process with white gel on the remaining tarts. Serve.
