Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Tassies image

My grandma was a southern belle, who taught me that pecan tassies are a southern tradition for tea-time. Tassies are little cookie-sized pies. Nothing is more southern than bourbon and chocolate is necessary in my family. This recipe has it all! They are very addictive, so make sure you make a double recipe if you are giving some...

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 16

CRUST
1 1/2 c all purpose flour
1 stick butter, cold cut into pea sized pieces
1 egg beaten with 1 cup ice water
1 Tbsp cocoa powder
1 Tbsp sugar
FILLING
1/2 stick butter
2 oz unsweetened (non-nestle) chocolate
3 large eggs
1 c light brown sugar
3/4 c dark corn syrup
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
3 Tbsp bourbon
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 c pecan halves

Steps:

  • 1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • 2. In a large saucepan, melt butter and chocolate over medium heat, then let cool.
  • 3. In a large bowl, beat eggs until frothy, then add sugar, dark corn syrup, vanilla, bourbon and salt. Mixing together.
  • 4. Add a small amount of the melted chocolate/butter mixture and mix together. Then add the rest of the chocolate/butter mixture.
  • 5. For pie/tassie crust, stir the flour, cocoa powder and sugar together. Work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal. Then slowly mix the egg/water into the dough until it comes together as a ball.
  • 6. For tassies, with your fingers, work a small dough ball out in a mini-muffin pan. Place several pecans in each and then fill with filling. You can also make (about) 5 mini-tarts or 1 pie. It is addictive, so make enough to share.
  • 7. Bake until set, 15 minutes for tassies, 25 minutes for tarts and about 30 minutes for pie.

I'm not a big fan of bourbon, but I still enjoyed these tassies. The chocolate and pecan flavors really shine through.

I had a hard time finding pecan halves, so I used chopped pecans instead. They still turned out great!

These tassies are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still good. I think I'll try making them with less sugar next time.
