How to Prepare Pumpkin Halwa Puff Pastry Tarts [Vegan]

To Make the Halwa:

  1. Grate the pumpkin (medium-fine) and squeeze all the juice out. Set aside both pumpkin and juice.
  2. Warm the oil and fry the cashews until golden brown. Set aside.
  3. In a medium pan, boil the pumpkin juice until it reduces to half. Once it's reduced, add the pumpkin, saffron, and sugar.
  4. Keep stirring until all the liquid dries out. Pour in the cashew and oil and remove from heat. Let it cool completely.

To Assemble the Pastry:

  1. Thaw out the pastry sheet according to package instructions.
  2. Cut into 9 squares after dusting lightly with flour. Fold into a triangle, cut a "V" shape then open it out. Fold down the top cut, and fold up the bottom cut.
  3. Fill the center with a tablespoon of the filling, piling it high.
  4. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for 15-20 minutes.
  5. Let cool on a wire rack completely and serve.
