Chocolate Swirl Pumpkin Tart is perfect for the holidays!

I’ll take my pumpkin with a heavy dose of chocolate, please! It’s my favorite way to enjoy it and this chocolate swirl pumpkin tart is hitting all the right notes.

It starts with a simple cookie crumb base. Inside is a traditional spiced pumpkin filling swirled together with melted chocolate. It bakes up beautifully and looks much more impressive than traditional pumpkin pie. No one needs to know that it’s just as easy to bake, it will be our little secret!

This tart would definitely be a fabulous addition to your Thanksgiving dessert table. Everyone is sure to love it— the chocoholics, the pumpkin enthusiasts, and everybody in between.
