It is officially pumpkin season! What better way to celebrate than with a gluten free pumpkin tart? Dark rum caramelizes with the pumpkin and white chocolate flavors to make a delicious dessert.
Pumpkin smells are about to overtake your kitchen and thrill your senses. This gluten free pumpkin tart will do just this!
I can even guarantee the smells of this tart baking will bring secluded teens out of their rooms. :-).
My husband and I were walking in downtown Los Gatos one evening, and I just couldn’t resist a stop in my favorite store, Sur La Table. This is an “unsolicited plug” for this store, and it is my go to place to find kitchen gadgets, pans, and cute decorations. Los Gatos has a quaint downtown area filled with restaurants, unique locally owned stores, and several coffee shops. There are a few large stores as well including an Apple Store and Sur La Table. I love the huge farmer’s market every they have Saturday morning. (If you go, you have to try the gluten free hamburger buns at Main Street Burger.)
I had wanted a tart pan for several months now. These pans have a removable bottom, making it easy to get the tart out of the pan.
You will be surprised at how easy gluten free tarts are to make. You can fill these tarts with anything, mousse, ice cream, fruit, pudding, custard, etc!
How to Make A Gluten Free Tart:
Mix up the crust ingredients and press into the pan. Make sure you really push it into each crinkle in the edging.
Mix up the pumpkin and other wet ingredients.
Pour the liquid tart mixture onto the prepared crust.
When the tart is baked and cooled off, you can top it with white chocolate shavings and little chunks of crystallized ginger. You will be surprised how good crystallized ginger is in baked goods!
Melting the white chocolate was a huge fail. I was trying for a white chocolate drizzle, but sometimes things just don’t work out as planned. Melting the Ghirardelli white chocolate chips in the microwave just didn’t work out. Somehow, it became white chocolate crumble. It still tasted like white chocolate, so I sprinkled it on top of this tart. Unexpected, but it works so well with the flavors in this tart!

Things You Need To Make This Recipe:
- Large tart pan. I love this pan because the bottom pops out, making this tart easy to take out of the pan.
- Mixing bowls. These mixing bowls are so cool because the rubber bottoms prevent your bowls from sliding around when you mix ingredients up.

W-O-W. I saw your Instagram photo and I have been waiting for this! Love the extra protein and nutrients in the almond crust. That totally cancels out all the calories, right? 🙂 Pinned!
Of course zero calories Laura 🙂 Thank you so much for pinning!
This is beautiful! I love it. Pumpkin Pie is my favorite pie, and this tart makes it even better. I love that you used Grade B syrup too— so much flavor!
Wow, thank you Debi very much. I love Grade B syrup when I bake, I agree with you that it adds a lot more flavor.
What a gorgeous tart! I have such a weakness for pumpkin!
Thank you Serena 🙂

This is a very creative recipe. I love the use of dark rum in the desert.
Thank you Rini. I think the dark rum works well with pumpkin flavors. My kids prefer I don’t use it though 🙂
I have an obsession with Sur La Table and have drug my husband in there on way too many date nights. If I promised him this dessert, he would surely rush me right over now!
