Time 4h30m

Yield 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for the tamper
1 large egg
3/4 cups light brown sugar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated
Pinch kosher salt
3/4 cup chopped pecans
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the hot coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only to medium-high heat.
  • For the dough: Add the butter and cream cheese to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Cream together until smooth and combined, 3 to 5 minutes. Mix in the flour until just combined. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
  • When the dough is cold and firm, portion it into 2 dozen balls. Add each ball to a tassie pan or a mini muffin pan and, using a tamper dipped in flour, press the dough so that it forms a cup. Refrigerate the dough cups for 30 minutes.
  • To make the filling, cream the egg, brown sugar, butter, vanilla, allspice, nutmeg and salt in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the filling to a liquid measuring cup for easy pouring.
  • Sprinkle the pecans amongst the refrigerated dough cups. Pour the filling evenly over the pecans.
  • Place over indirect heat and bake at 350 degrees F until golden brown and bubbly, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool completely before lightly dusting with confectioners' sugar. Enjoy!
  • (Alternatively, you can bake the pecan tassies in a 350 degrees F oven for 20 to 25 minutes.)

These pecan tassies are a great way to use up leftover pie crust. They're also a fun and easy dessert to make with kids.

I'm not a huge fan of pecan pie, but these tassies were surprisingly good! The filling was sweet and creamy, and the crust was nice and flaky.

These tassies are the perfect combination of sweet and nutty. The filling is gooey and the crust is flaky. I love that I can make them ahead of time and freeze them for later.

These pecan tassies were a disappointment. The filling was bland and the crust was soggy. I won't be making these again.

These tassies are so easy to make and they always turn out perfectly! I love that I can use pre-made pie crust to save time.

Not bad, but not amazing. The filling was a bit too sweet for my taste, and the crust was a little dry.

Just made these following the recipe exactly, and they turned out beautifully! The filling was a perfect balance of sweet and nutty, and the pastry crust was crispy and flaky.
