Pecan pie. Delicious. Don't eat it that much though.

Pecan pie is very easy to make and very forgiving for chefs and unchefs alike. From what I can remember when attempting to make it for others in Australia, you can buy premade pie shells. I couldn't find the american style ones at Woolies but you can look for empty tart shells and then all you do is mix up the sweet custard mixture in a bowl, toast up some pecans and then fill the shells with the entire mixture and just bake them as individual pecan ie tarts. Still delicious and you don't get so overwlelmed by the sweetness.

I'm going to share a mini pecan tarts recipe I modified to include chocolate. I find that chocolate helps to balance the overly sweet profile that the sugar and corn syrup brings. If you add the Kahlua or can find Frangelico liqueur, I highly recommend. It tastes amazing if you let it sit overnight..

Mini Chocolate Pecan tarts Recipe *_*Ingredients 12 individual tart shells (if you are still in the states you can buy mini graham cracker pie shells at Walmart etc) 1/2 cup chopped pecans (you can use hazel nuts if using Frangelico) 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted 2/3 cup sugar 1/2 cup corn syrup (any shade will do) 2 large eggs, beaten (the more you beat the airier the custardy bit gets) 1/8 teaspoon salt 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, melted 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 tablespoons Kahlua or Frangelico liqueur Whipped cream for serving. *-* Directions 1. Heat your oven to 350 degrees (what ever that is in Celsius if in celsius country) 2. Put 1 tablespoon of whatever nuts you choose into each unbaked pie or tart shell. Set aside. 3. Combine the butter, sugar, corn syrup, beaten eggs, salt, melted dark chocolate, vanilla and 2 tablespoons of whatever liqueur you might've used and stir well. 4. Place tart shells on a sheet pan. Using a 1/4 measuring cup, Pour custard mixture in to each of the shells. Fill the shells just until about 1/4 inch from top. Be careful not to overfill as the mini pies will puff up as they bake. 5. add another tablespoon of nuts to each mini pie if you want, but this is optional. 6. Bake the pie/tarts on the center rack of the oven for about 20 minutes or until cooked through, which you'll be able to tell by the mini pies feeling/looking a little puffy on top. 7. Cool on a rack for at least 3 hours, then Serve with whipped cream or a small scoop of vanilla ice cream if you choose. If you can wait, put the tarts in the fridge and let them sit overnight. Especially if you added the liqueur. happy baking! ☺️

Hey Rachel, sorry I forgot to mention the exact equivalent over in Australia is just called glucose syrup. And I was able to find it in the baking aisle at Woolworths and I imagine Cole's would have it as well. It came in a 500G bottle if that helps. I don't remember the name brand.
