NO-BAKE PUMPKIN TARTS



No-Bake Pumpkin Tarts image

This recipe came from my Kindergarten teacher back in the 70's and it has been a family favorite ever since. It is light and fluffy, and a nice change from regular pumpkin pie. This recipe also makes enough for one pie if you don't want to make tarts.
