Instructions
-
Make the pie crust
Add the butter, granulated sugar, cinnamon, brown sugar, vanilla sugar, salt, egg yolk, flour, and baking powder to a deep bowl. Mix/knead all the ingredients together into a cookie dough. Place the dough in the refrigerator for a while to firm up. This will make it easier to roll out the cookie dough later.
-
Make the Pecan Filling
Put the pecans, sugar, and egg into a mixer. Mix until smooth. Put the pecan filling into a piping bag.
-
Roll Out, cut the dough and add the pecan filling
Grease the baking rings. Sprinkle some flour on the work surface and roll out the dough (thickness should be about 1 to 1.5 cm). Cut out the cookie dough with the baking ring, ensuring the dough stays in the ring. Place the baking ring with the cookie dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat the process with the remaining baking rings. Pipe some of the pecan filling into the cookie dough, leaving 1 cm of space around the edges.
-
Bake the Pecan Tarts
Place in a preheated oven at 175°C for about 18 to 25 minutes. Let the pecan tarts cool completely.
-
Prepare the Ganache
Pour the unwhipped cream into a saucepan and bring it just to the boil. Remove the pan from the heat and add the chocolate drops. Let it sit for a minute. Stir together until smooth. Allow the ganache to cool completely.
-
Whip the Cream
Whip the unwhipped cream together with the vanilla sugar, sugar, and whipped cream stabilizer until stiff.
-
Combine with Ganache
Add the ganache and mix it together until well combined. Transfer the cream mixture to a piping bag.
-
Decorate the Pecan Tarts
Pipe a nice tuft of the cream mixture onto each pecan tart.
-
Add Finishing Touches
Melt some cocoa drops and drizzle them over the pecan tarts. Place a pecan nut on each tart.
