BOURBON-PECAN TASSIES



Bourbon-Pecan Tassies image

Think of these tasty little tassies as your own personal pecan pie. They're both salty and sweet, with a hit of oaky bourbon. Whole-grain rye flour adds the perfect touch of sour to the shortbread-like crust, while toasted pecans do double duty in the crust and in the maple-splashed filling. As if that weren't enough to jingle your bell, we drizzle warm bittersweet chocolate over each bite to ensure maximum satisfaction.

Time 1h5m

Yield Serves 24 (serving size: 1 tassie)

Number Of Ingredients 17

Baking spray with flour
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
1 tablespoon 1% low-fat milk
1 ounce 1/3-less-fat cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup chopped toasted pecans
4.5 ounces whole-grain rye flour (about 1 cup)
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons bourbon or rye whiskey
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2/3 cup chopped toasted pecans
1 ounce bittersweet chocolate, chopped

Steps:

  • To prepare crust, preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Generously coat a 24-cup mini muffin pan with baking spray. Beat oil, 2 tablespoons butter, powdered sugar, milk, and cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until well combined. Process 1/3 cup pecans in a food processor until finely ground. Weigh or lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Add flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt to food processor; pulse 5 times. Add flour mixture to butter mixture; beat just until combined. (Mixture will be crumbly.) Knead in bowl until dough comes together, 3 to 4 times. Shape dough into 24 balls. Place balls in cups of prepared muffin pan; press dough into bottom and up sides of cups to form shells. Bake 5 minutes. Cool 10 minutes.
  • To prepare filling, whisk together brown sugar, maple syrup, bourbon, eggs, 1 tablespoon butter, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Stir in 2/3 cup pecans. Spoon about 1 tablespoon pecan mixture into each tart shell. Bake 18 minutes or until filling is puffed and browned. Cool 20 minutes in pan on a wire rack.
  • Microwave chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl at HIGH until chocolate melts, about 45 seconds, stirring every 15 seconds. Run an offset spatula around edges of tarts to loosen; remove tarts from pan. Drizzle chocolate evenly over each tart.

3/4 stick butter
3/4 c brown sugar
1/4 c maple syrup
1 Tbsp heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 Tbsp bourbon, optional
3/4 c chopped pecans
1/3 c chocolate chips
1 batch homemade pie dough

  • 3. Once pie dough is close to room temperature, prepare a floured surface. Place dough in center and begin to roll out dough. Have additional flour close by in case you need to add more. Once rolled out, use a cookie cutter to make the shape for the tart shells.
  • 4. Spray muffin pan with pam, then push dough into each muffin hole to form the shape for the tarts. Make sure the press the dough up against the sides.

BOURBON PECAN PIE



Bourbon Pecan Pie image

This is a classic and simple recipe given a Southern kick with a little bourbon. The alcohol will evaporate when you bake the pie, and you're left with a richly flavored, gooey dessert, intensely sweet with a baseline of vanilla. You do need both light and dark corn syrup for this - using only one or the other will change the pie's flavor. (Don't let making your own pie crust intimidate you: our pie guide has everything you need to know.)

1 1/4 cups coarsely chopped pecans
