Time 30m

Yield 16 tassies, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup pecans
1/2 cup mascarpone cheese (4oz)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup all purpose flour
1 pinch salt
1 large egg
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup toasted pecans, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Make the dough: Finely grind pecans in a food processor; set aside. Put mascarpone and butter into bowl of electric mixer fitted with paddle attachment. Mix on medium-high speed until well blended. Add flour, ground pecans, and salt; mix just until dough comes together.
  • Roll dough into 16 one-inch balls, and press into bottoms and up sides of cups of mini-muffin tins.
  • Make the filling: Whisk the egg, sugar, maple syrup, vanilla, butter, and salt in a small bowl. Stir in toasted pecans. Spoon about 1 1/2 teaspoons filling into each muffin cup.
  • Bake until crust begins to turn golden, about 15 minutes. Let cool completely in tins on wire rack. Store in single layers in airtight containers up to 3 days.
