Description

Decadent German Chocolate Pecan Pie Bites are mini dessert treats combining the rich flavors of semi-sweet chocolate, shredded coconut, and chopped pecans inside a buttery pie crust, filled with a sweet, gooey custard-like mixture. Perfectly portioned in a 24-cup mini muffin pan, these bite-sized delights bake to golden perfection with a luscious blend of textures and tastes, making them ideal for holidays or any special occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Pie Crust

  • 1 package refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)

Filling and Topping

  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare Oven and Pan. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Form Pie Crust Base. Roll out the refrigerated pie crusts on a lightly floured surface and use a 2.5 to 3-inch round cookie cutter to cut circles. Press each circle gently into the muffin pan cups to create a crust base.
  3. Add Chocolate, Coconut, and Pecans. Sprinkle a few semi-sweet chocolate chips, shredded coconut, and chopped pecans evenly into each prepared crust in the muffin pan.
  4. Mix Filling. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, light corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
  5. Fill the Crusts. Spoon about one tablespoon of the filling mixture into each mini crust, ensuring it covers the chocolate, coconut, and nuts evenly.
  6. Bake. Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until the centers are set and the crusts turn golden brown.
  7. Cool and Serve. Allow the bites to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before gently removing them and transferring onto a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • These bites can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
  • For extra flavor, toast the pecans and shredded coconut before assembling the bites.
  • Drizzle melted chocolate over the cooled bites for an indulgent finishing touch.
