Pumpkin Crème Brûlee Tart
- 1 cup all-purpose flour, divided
- 3 1/2 tablespoons ice water
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons vegetable shortening
- Vegetable cooking spray
- 1 cup unsweetened canned pumpkin
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 teaspoon butter-flavored extract
- Dash of salt
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 egg whites, lightly beaten
- 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- Combine 1/4 cup flour and ice water, stirring with a wire whisk until well-blended; set aside. Combine remaining flour, sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a bowl; cut in shortening with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add ice water mixture; mix with a fork until dry ingredients are moistened. Gently press mixture into a 4-inch circle on heavy-duty plastic wrap, and cover with additional plastic wrap. Roll dough, still covered, into an 11-inch circle; chill 10 minutes or until plastic wrap can be easily removed.
- Remove 1 sheet of plastic wrap; fit dough into a 10-inch round tart pan coated with cooking spray, and remove top sheet of plastic wrap. Prick the bottom and sides of dough with a fork, and bake at 400u0b0 for 15 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack.
- Combine pumpkin and next 8 ingredients (pumpkin through egg whites) in a bowl; stir well with a wire whisk. Pour into prepared crust; bake at 350u0b0 for 40 minutes or until filling is almost set. Let cool 30 minutes on a wire rack; cover loosely, and chill at least 4 hours.
- Uncover and press the brown sugar through a small wire sieve onto filling. Shield edges of piecrust with aluminum foil; broil 1 minute or until sugar is bubbly. Serve immediately.
