Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheet with parchment paper. Place phyllo cups on one of the baking sheets with a little space between them.
- Chop pecans and spread them out on a second baking sheet, do not spray baking sheet with oil! Toast nuts in the oven for 5-10 minutes. Check often and stir halfway through the cooking time to ensure the nuts don’t burn and instead are a slightly darker toasty brown color. Set them to the side and let them cool off the pan once toasted.
- In a large bowl, whisk eggs well. Add melted butter and brown sugar to the eggs and mix well until blended.
- Add flour, vanilla, and milk to the egg mixture. Stir and mix well to combine.
- Fold in chocolate chips, and nuts to the butter mixture and stir to combine.
- Using a teaspoon, fill phyllo shells to the top with pecan filling.
- Bake the mini pecan pies for 20-25 minutes or until the filling is no longer bubbly. Remove from oven let cool, then enjoy!
Notes
- Pecans do not need to be sprayed with oil when toasting them. The nuts have enough natural oil in them that they can be placed on a baking sheet and toasted without extra added oil.
- You can add whipped cream to these pies before serving. Make sure the mini pies have cooled completely or the whipped cream will melt off of the pies.
- These little pies can be eaten directly out of the fridge and are delicious that way too!
- The pecan halves in this recipe were measured before chopping. If you are using pecan pieces that are already chopped, you will need about 7/8 cups of chopped pecan pieces. I realize this measurement feels strange, but pecan pieces and pecan halves take up space very differently when measured in a measuring cup.
- More pecans can be substituted for chocolate chips to make plain pecan mini pies. If removing the chocolate chips I recommend adding about 1/4 cup more chopped pecans or 1/2 cup pecan pieces that are then chopped.
