Pumpkin Pie Chocolate Tarts Recipe
This would be a perfect dessert on Thanksgiving. Know what I mean? It’s chocolate and it has all the flavors of fall. what more can you ask for right?
I made these recently when we had a few guests over. I had a fall theme in my menu so obviously, I was thinking pumpkin, apples, cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin spice, ginger in my head. But instead of making big tarts like I normally do I decided to make the mini versions. I’ve already shared with you my White Chocolate Pumpkin Caramel Tarts, Cinnamon Caramel Apple Tarts and this Pumpkin Pie Chocolate Tart.
They were definitely very popular and I had tons of request for the recipes.
Pumpkin Pie Chocolate Tarts
I think I love, fall the most among all the season. Love summer too but ever since I became a cake decorator I’ve had a love-hate relationship with summer in Israel. It’s really so hot. Winter is usually too cold for me. Spring is lovely but way too short here. Fall is always perfect and does stay a while too! Not to mention there’s an occasional rain that comes in a cools the place off too.
The kids have been using the rains as an excuse to have hot chocolate with marshmallows and pumpkin spice. One of our family favorites. Have you tried my recipe for the best Homemade Hot Chocolate Mix? It’s thick and creamy – almost feels like you drinking chocolate flavored vanilla pastry cream. Absolutely heaven!
About this Pumpkin Pie Chocolate Tart (Save for later)
This is a simple recipe that really does not need much thinking so if you looking to create something quick and easy for Thanksgiving dinner? Perfect recipe. It really takes 5 minutes to make the filling and sets in less than an hour in the fridge. It’s a complete win-win when it comes to time and effort.

TART SHELLS
You can make the tart shells from scratch or you can cheat and buy them from the store like I have done here. I just didn’t have the time to make them and when I see these at the store absolutely must pick one tray. They are so pretty!
But you know me I’m a DIY kinda person so I usually opt to make my own. I do have a post on how to make these at home that shares a detailed step by step on how to make the PERFECT shortcrust pastry at home. If you plan to make the tart shells I highly recommend checking my post, Homemade Short Crust Pastry 101.
Pumpkin Pie Chocolate Tart Recipe
So Let’s talk ingredients and substitutes ( Save/Pin)
- Pumpkin Puree – I’ve used canned puree but you can use homemade if you have as well.
- Condensed milk -In a pumpkin pie we use condensed milk so it works perfectly here but if you want you can substitute with fresh cream
- Spices – I’m using the same spices we use in a pumpkin pie but again if you prefer you can use a store bough pumpkin spice or gingerbread spice works too.
- Chocolate – The quality of chocolate you use will really make a huge difference in this tart. Always use good quality chocolate that you like to eat.

Thank you for this recipe Veena. It was just in time for me. I had to go for a weekend get together and made these. Everyone loved it. I too used the ready shells.

I made these last year and thought I’d make them again but then I saw the new Triple chocolate pumpkin tart. Think I’m going to make that this year.
Veena Azmanov
Thank you, Yuku. Yes, chocolate and pumpkin are my favorite combination.
Izi
Lucky those who can buy a ready pastry. I had to make from scratch. I used your mini tartlet recipe. Turned out delicious but not as pretty as yours.
Veena Azmanov
Thank you, Izi. So happy that this recipe worked well for you and you enjoyed it. Homemade pastry is definitely better. Thank you so much for coming back to write this feedback. Love to hear from those who tried my recipe.

Veena I love chocolate with pumpkin. These would be perfect on any holiday dessert table. I can’t wait to try the recipe. That crust looks so tender.
Veena Azmanov
Thank you Arlene. I love chocolate and Pumpkin too!
Marisa Franca @ All Our Way
I am so upset. I went and hit the rating and then I hit publish. Well, I saw that the rating didn’t take. That is terrible. This recipe deserves an excellent rating. So I’m doing this again.
Veena Azmanov
Ass thank you so much Marisa. So happy you think so .
Marisa Franca @ All Our Way
How cute!! I love the combination of flavors too. I am such a fan of individual desserts. They look so elegant on a dessert table. And as far as the seasons go, I’m with you. I love Fall. The cool nights and the warm days are perfect. And I imagine a cake decorator would have quite a challenge in the hot summer months. Well, let’s enjoy Fall while we can. I’ll have to make your recipe — the family I’m sure would enjoy it.
Veena Azmanov
Thank you Marisa. I definitely love fall the most.. such a wonderful time of the year – I love the rain too!
Denise Wright
Oh my that picture with the bite taken out really looked good! I love chocolate and mini desserts. I have never seen tart shells like that. I’ll have to look for them next time I’m at the grocery store. If I buy the shells then I think I can tackle this one (I’m not much of a baker). Great post!
Veena Azmanov
You will love this one Denise. It’s so easy!! No baking if you buy the tart shells. Take just 5 minutes to make the filling. And the tarts are so impressive. Looks like you slaved all day!
Jolina
I love that these have both pumpkin and chocolate! They’re awesome for fall and the holidays. I’m going to grab some ready-made tart shells too to make these little guys 100% no bake 🙂
Veena Azmanov
Yup.. its’ the flavor of the season I think this year. Pumpkin Chocolate combination. I love that you don’t know it has pumpkin until people eat it.
Karyn
These look fab Veena..I could lick the screen.. Your photos are amazing too
Veena Azmanov
Thank you karyn.
