Pumpkin Tart


Well the tart was finally made. It was more cheesecake than tart, in my humble opinion. Raven liked it, she is our cheesecake expert. It looks very pretty and would be great for Thanksgiving or Halloween. Speaking of Halloween, we are having a huge party this year. Stay tuned for those recipes. First here is the Pumpkin Tart recipe.

Pumpkin Tart
1-cup walnuts
1-sleeve graham crackers
1 t cinnamon
½ cup melted butter

Filling
3, 8-ounce cream cheese packages
1-cup sugar
2 eggs lightly beaten
1 cup of canned pumpkin
