Using a 3-inch biscuit cutter, cut out your 8 rounds from each pie dough disc.

6.
Fill each tart with 1-2 teaspoons of pumpkin mixture. Bake 15 minutes, but watch carefully as they are much smaller and can darken easily.

Using a large plastic baggie, place whipping cream mixture into baggie. Clip a very small tip off of one of the corners.

FOR THE WHIPPED CREAM TOPPING:
Put your beaters and bowl you'll be using to make the whip cream topping in the freezer for 30-45 minutes to make sure they are cold. Pour cream in the bowl and beat until the cream starts forming. Add remaining ingredients and beat until peaks form.
