Kentucky Bourbon Pecan Tassies

One of my favorite party desserts are Pecan Tassies. They are simply delicious bite size pecan pies. Just like a Pecan Pie you simply mix the ingredients together in a bowl, spoon into tarts, bake, and serve! It doesn’t get any easier than that! Want to add a little something extra? Try a dollop of whipped cream of top! Check out my Bourbon Whipped Cream recipe here!
My two special touches are the addition of Kentucky Bourbon and crispy Phyllo Tarts instead of mini pie shells.

This recipe was my #7 most popular recipe in 2013! View the Top 10 here

 

Ingredients:

  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  •  1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 5 tablespoons dark corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1-2 teaspoons Bourbon
  • 1 cup chopped pecans (or pecan pieces)
  • 2 packages phyllo tart shells (15 per package)

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
  2. Line a mini muffin tin with the phyllo shells.
  3. Mix sugar, butter, eggs, corn syrup, vanilla, Bourbon together in a bowl.
  4. Add chopped pecans.
  5. Using a spoon, fill each phyllo shell to the top.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden.
  7. Serve warm or at room temp.
  8. You can also serve with a small dollop or whipped cream.

These bite size pecan pies are always a hit at my parties!

My secret ingredient! Bourbon! Add 1-2 teaspoons for a delicious flavor.

Mini filo shells are such a fantastic ingredient to keep stocked in your freezer!
They are crispy phyllo dough shells that you can use for bite size desserts and appetizers.

 I like to use chopped pecans because I like larger chunks of pecans
but you can also use small pecans pieces.

It doesn’t take much to fill up the phyllo shells. About a tablespoon or so.

Phyllo shells are a great alternative for heavy, rich pie shells.
They also are slightly smaller so they are yummy, crunchy bite size desserts!

So much flavor in one bite!

    Nicole! I know you posted this 3 years ago, but this recipe is AMAZING!!! My boyfriend asked for mini pecan "tasties" and I told him I'd see what I could do. I am so impressed and so excited for him to try them! Thank you 🙂

🍽 Yesterday we enjoyed lunch at NCAL+H2O, an upscale seafood gem of a restaurant in downtown Rolla. It was a delicious meal and everything this Florida girl has been craving! 
🐟 We started with an order of amazing Tuna Poke Nachos then shared a Grilled Shrimp Club sandwich with fries and a tasty salad with house garlic parm dressing. We couldn't stop there so we also split a bowl of cioppino, which was chock full of fresh seafood. Next time I want to try their Parmesan Halibut or Seafood Pasta! 
❤ If you are looking for a nice restaurant to celebrate an anniversary or have a quiet date night (or day date like us) check out @saltwaterrollamo ! 
⭐ Lunch was courtesy of @rolladowntown.  I was a winner of $100 in downtown dollars in their Tis the Season of Giving contest!

🥡 We tried @doordash for the first time during our stay in Branson tonight. It really saved us time and energy running around town and delivery was free! We ordered ramen, bi bim bap, and lo mein from a local Asian restaurant called Noodle 21. It was delish! Check them out if you are in the area and send me a message if you want a referral for $5 off to try #doordash ! @noodle21branson #eatlocal #branson #takeoutfood #whatsfordinner

Road trip time and #CaseysCurbside saved the day! We stopped at @caseys and stocked up on some supplies, including my favorite pretzels and juice from their new line of Casey’s favorites, before we were on our way. I love that I can order right on Caseys.com or via their app and pickup using their free and easy curbside. #sponsored

We drove out to Marshfield today and made a few Route 66 stops including the Missouri Welcome Center in Conway with it's Route 66 themed picnic area and downtown Marshfield with the murals and Hubble telescope replica. Love all the cool places to see in Missouri! 🚗 #route66 #Missouri #marshfield #exploremore #travelgram #roadtrip
