Preparation
Step 1
Roll out and fit the pie dough into each tart tray or mold. Pre heat your oven to 400 degrees while you prepare the filling.
Step 2
Mix the rest of ingredients slowly together , but try to avoid getting any air bubbles. At this time you can add the optional ingredients like raisins. However if you want half the batch to be chocolate, separate half the mixture and mix in the melted chocolate for a variety of tart flavours.
Step 3
Fill tart shells to 1/2 an inch from the top. It may overflow anyway but you will be less likely to loose as much filling. You can add any pecans or cookie crumble on top before placing them in the oven and baking for 10 minutes.
Step 4
Take out of the oven and let cool until it wont burn your mouth. 5 min can be long enough but be careful it is hot sugar. After you can add mouse or fruit toppings for appearance and dig in.
Keep a tray underneath the tarts to catch any filling while baking. Though its very yummy sometimes the cracked appearance can be unsightly even with pecans. You can use chocolate mouse for the chocolate tarts or powdered sugar and crumble for all of them. Enjoy!
