Ingredients
- Pie Crust
1.5 sticks (3/4 cup) unsalted butter
4.5 oz 4.5 cream cheese
1.5 cups 1.5 flour
- Filling
¾ cup corn syrup or honey
¾ cup brown sugar
2 eggs
4 tbsp 4 melted butter
2 tsp 2 vanilla extract
pinch of salt
1¼ cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup chopped raisins
Directions
- MAKE THE DOUGH
- Using an electric hand mixer, combine butter and cream cheese and blend well until combined and fluffy.
- Add flour and mix by hand until you can form into a ball
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour. Make the filling while you wait for the dough to chill.
- FILLING
- Preheat oven to 325°.
- Combine corn syrup, sugar, eggs, butter, vanilla and salt in a mixing bowl. Beat until smooth.
- Add chopped pecans and raisins, and stir to combine. Reserve some pecans to place in the bottom of each tart.
- ASSEMBLE
- Roll out dough on floured surface until very thin. Use a biscuit cutter to make rounds and place each round into tart or mini muffin pan slots (approx 1-2″ diameter tart pan). Fit the dough into each hole and pinch the excess dough around the edges. Place a few pieces of chopped pecans into each dough slot then add the filling just below the top of each tart.
- Bake for 25-30 min.
- Remove immediately and place on a cooling rack for about 10 min. Serve at room temp. Store in the fridge in an airtight container, or freeze.
