Servings and Ingredients
Quantity | Ingredient | Add |
---|---|---|
Tassies | ||
1 packet(s) refrigerated Hy-Vee pie dough, at room temperature | ||
1 large egg | ||
¾ c. packed light brown sugar | ||
1 tbsp. melted butter | ||
1 tsp. vanilla extract | ||
fine salt | ||
½ c. pecans, finely chopped | ||
Bourbon Cream | ||
1 c. heavy cream | ||
2 tbsp. powdered sugar | ||
1 tbsp. bourbon | ||
1 tsp. vanilla | ||
½ c. caramel sauce, warmed | ||
20 candied pecans |
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 24-cup mini-muffin pan with cooking spray.
- Using a 2-inch-round cutter, cut out 20 discs from the pie dough. Place each disc in the greased mini muffin tin. Reserve scraps for another use or discard.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla and salt until smooth. Set aside.
- Spoon 1 teaspoon of the pecans into each muffin cup. Fill each cup with the egg mixture until evenly distributed, about 1/2 tablespoon in each.
- Bake until the filling is set and crusts are golden brown, about 25 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes, and remove from the muffin pan.
- In a mixing bowl, whip cream until soft peaks form. Add powdered sugar, bourbon and vanilla and whip until stiff peaks form.
- Serve tassies with a drizzle of caramel sauce, a dollop of whipped cream and a candied pecan.
