Pumpkin Filling
Pre-heat oven to 350° (177° C). Ready the pre-baked almond-coconut tart crust, placing it on a rimmed baking sheet with a silpat non-slip liner (optional).
Puree all ingredients from pumpkin through stevia together in a food processor until smooth. Filling will be fairly fluid. Taste and add more spices or stevia if desired. Pour the pureed pumpkin filling into tart crust. Fill almost to the top but leave an edge of crust showing. You may have extra filling.
Bake tart for approximately 30 minutes. It should be mostly set and just a little jiggly in the center. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack for 1 hour, then cover and chill in the refrigerator for a few hours to completely set. Slice and serve.
Optional garnish
For garnish, whip cream with vanilla and sweetener to soft peaks. Serve on the side or pipe on top.
Notes
Buy block cream cheese, not the tubs. They are different. Also, if you bake regular or convection it may make a difference in timing. Convection oven note: If you use convection mode and it puffs a little, it will settle as it cools. You can bake the tart a day ahead. Any cracks can be covered with whipped cream if desired.Optional whipped cream garnish calories and nutrition calculations are not included. Link for the tart crust is here
