Mini Pecan Tarts Recipe ! You'll love these !

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil adds a subtle flavor and is dairy-free.

cream cheese

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

pecans

🥗Healthier: walnuts

💰Cheaper: almonds

Walnuts provide a similar texture and flavor at a lower cost.

maple syrup

🥗Healthier: agave syrup

💰Cheaper: honey

Honey is a natural sweetener that can be less expensive.

Warm the corn syrup in the microwave for 30 seconds on high to make it easier to pour.

Add the packed brown sugar to the warmed corn syrup.

Zap the cold unsalted butter in the microwave to warm it slightly; it can melt a bit since it will melt in the oven.

Cream together the corn syrup, brown sugar, and butter using a mixer.

Add the first egg, then the second egg, and finally the third egg, mixing well after each addition.

Incorporate the salt, vanilla extract, and flour into the mixture until well combined.

Stir in the pecans until evenly distributed in the filling mixture.

Prepare the pie shell crust using a pre-made dough from another recipe (linked in the video).

Roll out the dough on a floured surface and cut it to fit the tart pans.

Gently place the dough into the tart pans, ensuring it is flat on top to avoid burning.

Fill each tart shell with the pecan filling mixture, filling them slightly more than halfway.

Place the filled tart pans on a baking tray to catch any overflow during baking.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 60 minutes.

Remove the tarts from the oven and let them cool slightly before removing them from the pans using the removable bottoms.
