  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup finely ground toasted hazelnuts
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cups plain pumpkin purée
  • 1 cup thick, plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt
  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin spice
  • 1/4 tsp salt for filling

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Prepare Shortbread Crust – Mix the dry crust ingredients, cut in the cold butter until sandy, press evenly into a tart pan, chill, and pre-bake briefly.
  2. Step 2: Mix Pumpkin Filling – Whisk the pumpkin purée, Greek yogurt, eggs, brown sugar, vanilla, and spices until smooth and glossy without overbeating.
  3. Step 3: Bake Tart – Pour the filling into the cooled crust and bake until the edges are set and the center retains a slight wobble.
