Ingredients

Dough

  • 6 oz cream cheese room temperature
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 cup butter, room temperature

Pecan Filling

  • 1 egg
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • pinch salt
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla
  • ½ cup finely chopped pecans

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350° F.

Dough

  • MIx all ingredients in your food processor until it comes together into a ball. Dough will be sticky.
  • Flour your hands lightly and roll dough into 1" balls. (Size of balls may vary depending on the size of your tart moulds.)
  • Press the dough ball lightly into your tart moulds. Use the back of a measuring spoon if necessary to help dough spread in the mould and to leave a nice rounded indentation to hold the filling.

Pecan Filling

  • Beat the egg and gradually add the sugar, butter, salt and vanilla. Add the pecan bits and stir to mix.
  • Use a small measuring spoon to fill dough mould indentations about ½ way up.
  • Bake tassies 25 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before removing from moulds.
