Preparation

Step 1

Place cider in a small saucepan on medium high heat.

Bring to a boil and let reduce to about 1/4 cup.

Chill and set aside.

Preheat oven to 350F.

In a mixing bowl, cream together sugar and cream cheese.

Add sour cream and mix thoroughly.

Add eggs one at a time, incorporating well and scraping the sides of the bowl each time.

Add pumpkin, 1/4 teaspoon salt, vanilla and cider reduction.

Stir to incorporate thoroughly.

Fill each sugar cookie lined tartlet pan or muffin cup with pumpkin batter.

Allow to cool in pans, then top each with half of large marshmallow, toasted with kitchen torch.

Garnish with chocolate curls, if desired.
