Mini Pecan Pies

Mini Pecan Pies use light corn syrup, egg, sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and chopped pecans spooned into pre-made mini phyllo shells. Baking them yields small individual pies with a sweet, nutty filling that is firm yet slightly spongy in texture. Cooling before serving allows the pies to set and makes them easy to handle. These bite-sized desserts are perfect for parties and holiday gatherings.

Description

The filling combines Karo® light corn syrup with egg, granulated sugar, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract whisked until smooth, then pecans are folded in. One teaspoon of this mixture is placed into each mini phyllo shell arranged on a baking sheet.

Baking at 350°F for 15-17 minutes causes the filling to puff slightly and spring back lightly when tapped, indicating it is done. The mini pies are removed immediately to a wire rack to cool fully over approximately one hour. This gentle cooling helps the filling firm up and prevents sogginess of the pastry shells.

These mini pecan pies offer the classic pecan filling flavor in a convenient individual size using phyllo shells, which results in a flaky and crisp crust texture. They are suitable for dessert buffets or holiday celebrations.
