Lunar New Year is next week and my family likes to celebrate the end of the year by inviting friends and family for a feast. Basically, saying thank you for a great year. My parents like to get a whole roasted pig and other festive food to share. My mom asked me to make my mini pecan tarts. Random item but these were gone in minutes. I found this recipe online and made it the first time over the holiday break.
I’m not a baker but this is the easiest tarts that I’ve ever made and it’s delicious.
Ingredients:
1 cup butter, cut in small chunks
6 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 cups all-purpose flour
4 eggs
3 cups packed brown sugar
4 tablespoons melted butter
1 pinch salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped pecans
Directions:
- To Make Pastry:
- Cream butter and cream cheese.
- Add flour and mix well.
- Make into 48 balls; place one ball in each cup of a mini tart pan.
- Use your fingers or a tart tamper to press out into a tart shell.
- To Make Filling:
- Break the eggs.
- Add sugar, melted butter, salt, vanilla and pecans.
- Mix well.
- Fill the tart shells.
- Bake at 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) for about 30 minutes.
Enjoy!

I know! But once you eat something that’s unhealthy or something you know you shouldn’t have…it doesn’t taste the same and you go back eating healthy again. So keep up the good work! π
