Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a mini tartlet pan with mini tartlet liners.

Fill each tartlet liner with the pumpkin chai cheesecake filling, leaving a small gap at the top as the filling will expand while baking.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-18 minutes or until the edges are set, and the centers are slightly jiggly.

Allow the tartlets to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
