MINI BOURBON PECAN PIES



Mini Bourbon Pecan Pies image

These are mini pecan pies, made with a cream cheese crust. The title "Pecanda's " is from my daughter, who when she was young couldn't say pecan pies, and said pecanda, and it stuck. These are very good and guaranteed to be a hit at any party, since people tend to feel less guilty about eating 3 mini pies than they would just getting a slice of a normal sized pie.

Time 50m

Yield 24 pies, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temp)
3 ounces cream cheese (room temp)
2 teaspoons sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup pecans (chopped)
2 tablespoons Bourbon

Steps:

  • For pastry, in a bowl combine 1 c flour baking powder and salt. In a mixing bowl combine the 1/2 c butter cream cheese and 2 tsp sugar. Mix until well blended, stir in the flour mixture, press firmly into a ball with hands. Divide in half. Set aside 1 half. On a lightly floured surface roll out dough to a 1/8 inch thickness. Lightly spray 2 twelve cup mufin pans with nonstick spray. Cut out 12 2 1/4 inch rounds, I suggest using a cookie cutter or biscuit cutter. Press the rounds evenly into the bottoms and sides of the muffin pan cups. Repeat with remaining dough. Then refridgerate about 10 to 15 minute.
  • Meanwhile , in a medium bowl beat the eggs slightly. Stir in the granulated sugar, corn syrup, bourbon, melted butter, and vanilla until blended. Spoon a heaping teaspoonfull of chopped pecans into each pastry lined cup. Top with the corn syrup mixture. Be careful not to put too much, if the cornsyrup mixture goes above the pastry it can stick and be difficult to remove after baking. Bake at 350 degrees for 20- 25 min, until lightly browned and a toothpick comes out clean. Cool , and sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. This means using real butter, fresh cream, and good-quality chocolate.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the crust tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will make it easier to work with and prevent it from shrinking in the oven.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into even rounds. This will help the pies cook evenly.
  • Bake the pies until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. Overbaking will dry out the pies.

Conclusion:

These mini chocolate bourbon pecan pies are the perfect dessert for any occasion. They're easy to make, delicious, and sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. The chocolate and bourbon flavors are a perfect match, and the pecans add a nice crunch. The pies are also very portable, making them a great option for parties or picnics.
