Chrissi's Cream Cheese Nut Cups (Mini Pecan Pies) image

My friend, Chrissi made these while on a girl's weekend and they were fantastic. Rich, delicious "crust" filled with just enough pecan filling so it's not the large mouthful of a pecan pie slice. Simple to make--this ones a real winner.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my nut cups turned out really dry. The crust was crumbly and the filling was too thick. I think I might have overbaked them. I'll try again next time and see if I can get them right.

These nut cups are a great way to use up leftover cream cheese. They're also a great make-ahead dessert. I like to make them a few days ahead of time and then store them in the fridge. They're always a hit when I serve them.

These nut cups were a disappointment. The crust was soggy and the filling was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but they just didn't turn out right. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.
