  • Spoon the pecan filling into the tarts. Add the mixture 3/4 of the way to the top of the tart.

  • Allow the tarts to cool for about one hour.

Notes

If you don't have a tart pan, you can use a mini muffin pan.
Stir the mixture before adding to each tart as the sugar tends to sink to the bottom of the bowl quickly.
It will seem like there's not enough filling for the tarts, but there's plenty. I had some leftover.
