About the bake

The Pecan Pie is a classic warming pudding and these mini versions are certainly no exception. Buttery pastry filled with caramelised pecan nuts and a hint of maple syrup - does it get any better? Well, maybe if you serve with a scoop of creamy maple ice cream...

    Method

    1. Step 1

      Pre-heat the oven to 180°c (160°c fan/gas mark 4) and place the mini pastry tartlet cases onto a baking tray.

    2. Step 2

      To make the filling: heat the maple syrup, butter, sugar, vanilla and a pinch of salt in a saucepan. Bring to the boil and cook for 1 minute, pour into a bowl to help it cool quickly, stir in the chopped pecans and allow to cool for at least 10 minutes.

    3. Step 3

      Mix the cooled syrup with the eggs. Pour into the pastry cases, placing a pecan half on top of each tartlet. place in the oven and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the filling is just set in the middle (it will continue to cook as it cools down). Serve slightly warm or leave to cool before serving.

    4. Step 4

      Serve with a scoop of maple ice cream.

    These maple pecan pies are a real treat - a quick & simple dessert that tastes delicious. I've made it a few times now with different maple syrups and it's definitely worth using the Billington's Very Dark Maple as it gives a delicious caramelised flavour, which really works with the pecan nuts.
