Pecan Pie Bites

[Vijay]

Made these last week - they don’t last long.

Short Version.

• 125g chopped Pecans (or your nut(s) of choice)
• 43g Butter
• 58g Double Cream
• 27g Sweetener (I use Total Sweet Xylitol)
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 25g Dark Chocolate
• Himalayan Pink Salt (optional)

Steps

1. Brown Butter in a pan over a medium heat, add cream and combine
2. Reduce heat, add sweetener and vanilla extract and whisk for 5 minutes until it starts to thicken
3. Take off heat, add chopped nuts and mix.
4. Spread into a lined tin and pop in the freezer for 5-10 mins
5. Melt some dark chocolate, and drizzle/spread over the mix and let set (freezer or fridge) - Add salt on top if you want

Long version with more pics.

They look great! Is that actually 125 pecans or 125 grams?

[Digital_Dave]

I was thinking the same! … My wife likes Pecans, but wow, that’s a lot of pecans!

Edit: It actually shows that way on the recipe page as well?

@Digital_Dave and @gatita, If you click the link #2: Pecan Pie Bites" it takes you to another page with a link to the original recipe, which is in US measurements. I’ve added the link in my text.

Thank you ma’am! 1 cup sounds much better.

[AnnM]

Yeah, it’s a lot easier to measure a cup than to count out 125 nuts. But I think the recipe should be 125g.

Wow!! They look amazing… Sending you my address so I can overnight me a batch lol thanks a bunch…

Oopsie. Should read 125g. I did convert to grams as cups are ok for nuts but I find weird for things like butter. In the UK, we are conditioned to use metrics

Thanks for finding the error, will update the blog too.

[gatita]

Is that your blog? Very nice!

[Vijay]

@gatita yes it is, thanks. Got sort of talked into starting one during the Preston UK Meatup 2 weeks ago

It’s good fun, but I need to get better at proof reading
