Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 115 grams Cream cheese
- 160 grams All-purpose flour
- 150 grams Brown sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 30 grams Unsalted butter (for filling)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 120 grams Chopped pecans
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter and cream cheese together until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and lightly grease a mini muffin tin.
Divide the chilled dough into 12 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Press each ball into the muffin tin, shaping it into a small tart shell with an even thickness.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, egg, melted butter, vanilla extract, chopped pecans, and salt. Stir until well mixed to form the filling.
Spoon the filling evenly into the prepared tart shells, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the filling is set and the tartlet shells are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the tartlets cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve at room temperature and enjoy!
