Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Make the Pecan Filling
    Put the pecans, sugar, and egg into a mixer. Mix until smooth. Put the pecan filling into a piping bag.
  3. 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.
  4. Bake the Pecan Tarts
    Place in a preheated oven at 175°C for about 18 to 25 minutes. Let the pecan tarts cool completely.
  5. 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.
  6. Whip the Cream
    Whip the unwhipped cream together with the vanilla sugar, sugar, and whipped cream stabilizer until stiff.
  7. Combine with Ganache
    Add the ganache and mix it together until well combined. Transfer the cream mixture to a piping bag.
  8. Decorate the Pecan Tarts
    Pipe a nice tuft of the cream mixture onto each pecan tart.
  9. Add Finishing Touches
    Melt some cocoa drops and drizzle them over the pecan tarts. Place a pecan nut on each tart.
