MINI SOUTHERN PECAN PIES



Mini Southern Pecan Pies image

These tasty, pecan-filled mini pies are great for the holidays or an easy, elegant dessert anytime. The use of light corn syrup lets the pecan goodness shine through, rather than overwhelming with sugary sweetness. Be careful when eating these - if you get some of the filling on your face, your tongue may beat you to death trying to get to it! Try serving warm with vanilla ice cream. Serve warm or cool and place in airtight containers up to 1 week.

NO-CRUST CREAM CHEESE PIE



No-crust Cream Cheese Pie image

This is an older recipe from a church cookbook. It's a nice, quick cheesecake recipe....just no crust or springform pan!

Provided by Parsley

Categories     Pie

Time 45m

Yield 1 pie, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

16 ounces cream cheese, softened
3 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons sugar
fresh fruit or pie filling, for topping*

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Grease (or spray w/ nonstick cooking spray) a 10-inch pie dish.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat together cream cheese, eggs, 1/2 cup sugar and vanilla until creamy. Pour into greased pie dish. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and cool for about 10 minutes (Don't turn off oven). In a small bowl, mix together sour cream and 3 Tbsp sugar---pour on top of pie.
  • Return to 350 degree oven for additional 10 minutes. Cool 1 hour then chill. May top with fresh fruit or pie filling.

Tips:

  • Use a food processor to quickly and easily chop the pecans.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the pecans by hand using a sharp knife.
  • Be sure to press the pecan mixture firmly into the muffin cups. This will help to keep the cups from breaking apart when you bake them.
  • Don't overfill the muffin cups. The filling should come to the top of the cups, but it shouldn't overflow.
  • Bake the cups for 15-20 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
  • Let the cups cool completely before serving. This will help to prevent the filling from running out.

Conclusion:

These Chrissie's Cream Cheese Nut Cups are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're made with a creamy filling, a crunchy pecan crust, and a sweet glaze. These cups are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
