Pecan pie is a traditional dessert with its roots in the southern United States, particularly in states like Louisiana and Texas, where the pecan is a highly valued nut. This delight combines a crunchy base with a sweet and nutty filling, making it an emblem of Southern cuisine. In several Latin American countries, although pecan pie is not as popular as in the United States, it is also known as pecan pie or pecan nut pie. Its characteristic flavor and creamy texture make it ideal for sharing during celebrations and special occasions, being an exquisite variant of the classic nut pie.

How to Prepare Pecan Pie Tartlets
To prepare these delicious tartlets, we start by mixing the base ingredients: flour, butter, and cream cheese are the main players to achieve a rich and easy-to-handle dough. Once mixed, they are carefully pressed into tart molds, forming the base of our tartlets.
Subsequently, we prepare the filling by mixing brown sugar, eggs, salt, vanilla, and chopped pecan nuts. This sweet and aromatic filling is placed inside the already prepared tart shells.
Finally, bake for 25 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit, until the filling sets and the base acquires a golden and appetizing tone. These tartlets are perfect to enjoy on any special occasion or simply to delight the palate with a traditional and homemade touch.
