I’m SO excited to finally share these pumpkin tartlets with you!
They are smooth and creamy and perfectly spiced. Complete with a crunchy gingersnap cookie pecan crust! As we get into November and with the holidays coming up, I am already planning my Thanksgiving menu.
I love cheesecake, and pumpkin pie is a must for Thanksgiving, so why not combine the two into Chai Spiced Pumpkin Cheesecake Tarts??
So, let talk about this pumpkin-y, cheesecake-y perfection.
First up, the unbelievably smooth, creamy, and rich pumpkin cheesecake filling. It is the perfect balance of pumpkin and cheesecake with just the right amount of spice.
This Thanksgiving, I’ve teamed up with Kraft and Walmart to make your holiday prep a breeze! You just need a few key ingredients for the filling:
- PHILADELPHIA Original Cream Cheese
- pumpkin puree
- BREAKSTONE’S All-Natural Sour Cream
- brown sugar
- eggs
and some delicious chai spices like cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, cloves, and allspice.
And now the crust! Gingersnap cookies, pecans, and melted butter are pressed into the bottoms of individual tart pans for a crispy, can’t-get-enough-of-this crust.
This Thanksgiving, you can easily order all ingredients for your holiday menu using Walmart Online Grocery Pickup, or simply pick up in store at a Walmart near you. Either way, Walmart makes it an easy and effortless experience to grab your favorite Kraft products and other recipe necessities!
