Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 75 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Brown sugar, packed
- 60 ml Corn syrup
- 2 whole Large eggs
- 5 ml Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
- 120 grams Raisins
- 120 grams Pecans, chopped
- 12 pieces Premade tart shells
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper for easy clean-up.
Place the tart shells onto the prepared baking tray and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the brown sugar and corn syrup, stirring until smooth and fully combined. Remove from heat.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs. Slowly pour the melted butter mixture into the eggs, whisking continuously to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
Add vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to the mixture, and stir until well combined.
Gently fold in the raisins and chopped pecans into the filling mixture.
Carefully spoon the filling into the prepared tart shells, filling each about three-quarters full to leave room for expansion during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the tart shells are golden brown.
Remove the tarts from the oven and allow them to cool in the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the tarts slightly warm or at room temperature. They pair beautifully with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
