Moving on to dessert ideas for your party planning today I'm posting a finger-food dessert. For this recipe you can either use bought ready-to-use tart shells or make your own pastry dough and use one of the mini-tart pans (pictured here).
Ingredients:
¾ cup of coffee (your choice of brand)
1 cup of brown sugar, packed
2/3 cup of unsalted butter, melted
3 large eggs + 2 egg yolks
pinch of salt
2 cups of pecan halves, toasted (if you are making mini-tarts you will need to crush the pecans into smaller pieces)
24 3-inch tart shells (or make your
own)
Directions:
In a clean frying pan, sprinkle the pecans and toast lightly over medium heat. Nuts burn easily so do not walk away. Remove from heat and cool. If you are using bought ready-made tart shells arrange them on a parchment lined baking sheet. If you are making your own mini-tarts have them already prepared at this point. In a large bowl, gently mix together the coffee, brown sugar, butter, eggs and salt until smooth and incorporated. Pour filling into the tart shells. If preparing mini-tarts spoon in the mixture. Sprinkle with the toasted pecans. Bake at 375ยบ F for approximately 15-18 minutes for 3-inch tarts. If you are preparing mini-tarts bake for 10-12 minutes. The filling should jiggle very slightly in the center when done. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Serve with a freshly brewed cup of Coffee. Enjoy! ~ Chef ~
