Just made Mini Pecan Pies Delish

Barbo · 12-20-2011, 06:57 PM

These pies (one bite) are so good.
Tooter, where ever you are..thanks.

Tooter's Mini pecan pies

2 Tablespoons butter
1 1/4 cup of almond flour
4 oz (half of an 8 oz package) of cream cheese

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Soften cheese and butter and blend well. Stir in flour. Chill 1 hour. Shape into twenty-four 1-inch balls. Place in ungreased small muffin tins. Press down to form crust.

Filling

1 egg
1/4 cup of Splenda
1/2 cup of Diabetic Sweet
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon Black Strap molasses
Dash of salt
3/4 cup of chopped pecans

Beat egg, sweetener, butter, vanilla, Molasses and salt until smooth. Divide half the nuts among pastry cups. Add egg mixture. Top with remaining nuts.
Bake for 25 minutes or until Golden brown.

Loosen the mini pie's sides with a teaspoon, then scoop them out and set them aside to cool.

Enjoy!

I've made those before and I agree, Barbo - they are really very good!

Barbo · 12-20-2011, 10:37 PM

and they are not too sweet.

I'd like to make these but cannot find Diabetasweet anywhere. Would Ideal brown work in this recipe?

How many carb grams each ?

SkeeterN · 12-21-2011, 05:37 PM

I have quite a bit of diabeti-brown as I stocked up. Wonder if you could use this and omit the molasses

Linnylamb · 12-21-2011, 06:27 PM

I made these several times last year and no one knew they were low carb. Last time I made them, I served them warm with a little scoop of lc ice cream.

Skeeter, I believe that Tooter said in her original thread that she would have used Diabetti brown if she could have found it. The white Diabetti plus the molasses was a substitute. Personally, I make them with Diabetti brown AND molasses. I like that deep flavor that the molasses provides, but I don't think that it's necessary.

Would love to see a photo of the finished product

Barbo · 12-22-2011, 10:37 AM

I'm sorry I don't have the camera qualifications.

They look like a tiny pecan pie bite. Very nice looking.

Don't last long around here....

I always seem to eat my food before I can take a picture....

I am planning on making them for Christmas dessert. If I do I'll try to take a picture for you.

Linnylamb · 12-26-2011, 05:04 PM

There are only 9 left after last night's dessert! I guess everyone liked them as much as I do.

Sorry, I don't know how to post bigger pictures.

They sort of look like hamburgers in my picture, but luckily they don't taste like hamburgers......

graciejean · 12-26-2011, 05:08 PM

Barbo, I want one ,please.lol

Barbo · 12-27-2011, 06:39 PM

I've still got a small tin of them in the freezer.

Anytime, the coffee and tea are always on.

I subbed Ideal brown for the Diabetasweet because I couldn't find it in my pantry, I also used a regular muffin tin with foil cups because I don't have the mini pan. DH suggested I make them way more often. I finally found the Diabetasweet but it is the brown too so I guess it didn't much matter, they were gone quick.
