Spiced Pumpkin Tartlets

1package refrigerated pie crusts (or a batch of your own pie crust)
1- 15oz. Solid pack pumpkin
1 - 8 oz. container thawed Cool Whip
1tsp. Pumpkin pie spice
1package (3.4 oz.) cheesecake instant pudding mix
Powdered sugar (optional)
1/4 cup chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Allow pie crusts to stand at room temp 15 minutes.  Use a circle or scalloped cutter (3 inches) cut out pastry. Press into each cup of a mini muffin pan.  Prick the bottom of dough.  Bake 12-14 minutes or until golden brown.  Let stand 5 minutes.  Remove to a cooling rack and let completely cool.  
Meanwhile combine pumpkin, whipped topping, and pumpkin pie spice, in bowl.  Whisk until smooth.  Add pudding mix; whisk until smooth and thickened.  Refrigerate until ready to use.  
Lightly sprinkle tarts with powdered sugar.  Fill the tarts sells with the filling mix.  I like to put it in a Baggie and snip out the corner to pipe it in.  Place chopped pecans on top.
