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 were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them.

I made these pecan tassies for my friends and they all raved about them. They said they were the best pecan tassies they had ever had.

These pecan tassies are the perfect combination of sweet and savory. The crust is flaky and the filling is creamy and nutty.

I've tried many pecan tassie recipes over the years, but this one is by far the best. The crust is flaky and the filling is rich and creamy.

These pecan tassies were a disappointment. The crust was soggy and the filling was bland.

I loved the flavor of these pecan tassies, but I found them to be a bit too sweet. Next time, I will use less sugar in the filling.

Not bad, but not great. The crust was a bit too dry and the filling was a bit too runny.

I've been making these pecan tassies for years and they are always a favorite. The only thing I do differently is add a little bit of cinnamon to the filling.
