How to Make Walnut Tassies
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- **Make the Pastry:**
- Cream together 8 ounces (225g) softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup (115g) softened unsalted butter until light and fluffy.
- Gradually blend in 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour until a dough forms.
- Shape the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
- Press each dough ball into the bottom and up the sides of a miniature cupcake tin (approximately 24 cups).
- **Make the Filling:**
- In a separate bowl, beat together 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar, 1/4 cup (55g) melted unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth and well combined.
- Divide 3/4 cup (75g) finely chopped walnuts evenly among the prepared pastry cups.
- Pour the egg mixture over the walnuts in each pastry shell, filling almost to the top.
- Top each tassie with the remaining 3/4 cup (75g) of chopped walnuts.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.
