How to Make Pumpkin Grand Marnier Tart With Gingersnap Crust

  1. **Crust:**
  2. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Spray a 10-inch tart pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine gingersnap crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix with a fork until evenly moistened.
  4. Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared tart pan. Use plastic wrap or the bottom of a measuring cup to ensure an even layer.
  5. Bake for 8 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack before filling.
  6. **Filling:**
  7. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs lightly.
  8. Gradually whisk in pumpkin puree, milk, brown sugar, granulated sugar, pumpkin pie spice, ground cinnamon, salt, orange zest, and Grand Marnier. Mix until well combined.
  9. Pour the pumpkin filling into the cooled crust.
  10. Bake on the middle rack of the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until the filling is set. The center should be just slightly jiggly.
  11. Let the tart cool completely on a wire rack. Cover lightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or preferably overnight) to allow flavors to meld and the filling to set completely.
  12. **Topping (Just Before Serving):**
  13. In a small bowl, lightly whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar, Grand Marnier, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  14. Serve chilled tart wedges topped with a dollop of whipped cream.
