Provided by Yoly

Time 2h

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup all-purpose flour
nonstick cooking spray
¾ cup brown sugar
1 large egg
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup finely chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Beat butter and cream cheese for crust with an electric mixer until smooth. Add flour and mix until fully combined. Cover and refrigerate dough for 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Remove dough from the refrigerator. Spray a 24-cup mini-muffin tin with nonstick spray.
  • Whisk brown sugar, egg, melted butter, and vanilla for filling in a bowl until smooth.
  • Roll dough into twenty four 1-inch balls. Press each ball into a muffin cup, so it spreads evenly on the bottom and up the sides. Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon pecans into each muffin cup, then top with about the same amount of egg mixture.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until filling is set, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then remove from the muffin tins.

CRUNCHY PECAN PIE BITES

Mini-pecan pies in packaged phyllo pastry shells. Easy, impressive and absolutely delicious. Southern Living recipe, I think from 11/2007. Just remember to keep stirring the pecan/syrup mixture as you fill the shells to keep the nuts and moisture evenly incorporated. They are great as gifts.

PECAN PIE BITES WITH GRAVY



Pecan Pie Bites With Gravy image

It's difficult to assess exactly how much the legalization of marijuana in Colorado may have changed the Thanksgiving menu. But it has indubitably increased the snacking that goes on afterward, said Alexander Figura, the chef of Lower48 Kitchen in Denver. That post-meal, late-night snacking has taken on a different kind of intensity now that the munchies are involved. "Stoned people gravitate to more extreme flavors," he said. "They want something very savory or very sweet, or both at the same time." His recipe for sticky pecan pie bites dunked into leftover turkey gravy - an after-hours snack among chefs he knows - hits those notes perfectly. The bite-size, bourbon-spiked pecan bars work on their own, too: no gravy or cannabis required. You can bake them up to 5 days in advance.

  • Pour filling over crust. Bake until set, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool completely before cutting into bars. Drizzle gravy on top or serve alongside as a dip.
