It looks like a cake layer or a cheesecake. It’s a tart. A pumpkin tart. A pumpkin tart with maple, rum, and orange on a chocolate almond crust topped with chocolate ganache.

Its rich. And delicious. The spices, the rum, the maple, the orange and vanilla play off the pumpkin and give it a distinctly different taste. The ricotta cheese gives it a lovely texture.

Here I’ve topped it with a cinnamon chocolate mascarpone whipped cream. A giant dollop. Every bite is creamy and memorable.

I make this tart year round. Usually I bake it in a springform pan, but it works equally as well in a 9-inch tart pan, mini tart pans, or an 8-inch square baking pan for making dessert bars. This is a fall favorite and a regular on the dessert table at Thanksgiving and Christmas.

This tart starts with a chocolate almond crust. Sugar and almonds are processed until the nuts are finely ground. Unsweetened cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, sea salt and melted butter are added to the sugar mixture and processed until well combined. The crust mixture is pressed into the springform pan. The tart crust can be covered and refrigerated in the springform pan for several days.

Heavy cream is heated to a simmer. Dark chocolate is added to the warmed cream and whisked until smooth and glossy. The warm ganache is spread over the cooled crust.

The tart filling is made quickly in a stand mixer, or whisked by hand. All the ingredients for the filling go into one bowl, and the mixture is beaten with a paddle attachment until smooth and well combined.

The filling is poured over the ganache, spread evenly and baked in a for about an hour to set. The tart does not require any refrigeration. Don’t worry about storing leftovers. There wont be any.
