Gluten Free Pumpkin Cream Cheese Tart

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of The Hershey Company. All opinions are 100% mine.

About 6 years ago I learned that I am allergic to eggs, wheat and soy. This has made the holidays a little bit harder since I have a huge sweet tooth and absolutely love pies and desserts! Ever since, I have been on a mission to create delicious desserts for my other gluten-free family members and I.

With Thanksgiving quickly approaching, I decided to create a new version of a favorite family dessert using pumpkin and chocolate! This Gluten Free Pumpkin Cream Cheese Tart is both sweet and savory and has just the perfect amount of pumpkin spice.

Easy Pumpkin Cream Cheese Tart with chocolateThis dessert is perfect for the whole family and is really easy to make! It’s not as time consuming as a traditional cheesecake and tastes just as good, if not better!
Pumpkin Cream Cheese Tart with Chocolate CrustThe crunchy chocolate crust and pumpkin cream cheese filling are the perfect pairing. I’m so excited to make this dessert for our next family gathering!

Ready to see how to make this delicious dessert with The Hershey Company?

Crust Tutorial 3

Start by making the crust using a food processor. Combine powder sugar, butter, water, flour and Hershey’s Special Dark Cocoa Powder and pulse until crumbly.

Crust Tutorial 4Pat the crust into a spring pan and bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees.

Tart FillingMeanwhile, combine cream cheese, pumpkin pie mix and sugar and beat until creamy. I found the best way to get it really creamy was to use my Kitchenaid and put the whisk tool on. I let it mix for 3-5 minutes to get it really smooth.

Then, spread it evenly over the cooled crust and place in fridge.

Naked TartOnce the cream cheese filling sets (minimum 2 hours), remove the outer form and then decorate with fresh whip cream.

Pumpkin Cream Cheese Tart with Hershey's CrustI think what really makes the dessert is the Hershey’s Special Dark Cocoa Powder. It gives the crust great flavor and the extra Hershey’s Chocolate Syrup really tops it off!

Yum!

June recap! Not as many projects happened, but I’ve been enjoying summer life with the kids and making memories. 

My trip back to Seattle was so needed and refreshing. Summer in Seattle is unmatched.

We took our first family trip to Possum Kingdom Lake in Texas and we all fell in love. 

The kids finished up summer baseball, summer track and now we get a little break before football and fall sports.
