Pumpkin Tart

I bought a whole pumpkin to think about nice Halloween recipes. Last time, I made pumpkin cheese cake and pumpkin cookies.

Today, I made Pumpkin Tart.

It is a easy recipe. To make pumpkin filling, just put filling ingredients into the food processor. It is decorated with whipped cream and pumpkin seeds.
I didn't add much sugar to filling, because pumpkin was quite sweet. I add cinnamon spice.
