For the topping:

• 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ½ teaspoon ground ginger

Instructions

1. In a food processor, combine the flour, cold butter, sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and salt. Pulse until the mixture forms a dough.

3. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
4. Line the chilled crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 10 minutes.
5. Remove the parchment paper and weights, and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Let it cool completely.
6. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
7. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
8. Spoon the filling into the cooled tart crust and spread it evenly.
9. In a saucepan, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, and spices. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens.
10. Let the pumpkin mixture cool for a few minutes, then pour it over the top of the tart filling.
11. Chill the tart in the fridge for at least 2 hours before serving.
