Thanksgiving classic dessert loved by all - a guaranteed crowd pleaser!
Ingredients:
  • 185ml (3/4 cup) maple syrup
  • 1 x 1L good-quality vanilla ice-cream, softened
  • 54.00 gm maple syrup
  • 265g (1 3/4 cups) plain flour
  • 70g (1/2 cup) custard powder
  • 250g chilled butter, cubed
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 15.00 gm iced water
  • 3 eggs, lightly whisked
  • 100g (1/2 cup, firmly packed) brown sugar
  • 50g butter, melted
  • 300g pecans, coarsely chopped
Instructions:
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the ice cream, maple syrup, and cinnamon. Transfer the mixture to a shallow metal container, cover with foil, and freeze for about 4 hours or until firm. Enjoy the delicious frozen treat!
  • In a food processor, combine flour, custard powder, butter, and sugar until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add egg yolk and water; pulse until dough forms. Transfer dough to a floured surface, knead until smooth, then shape into a disc. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C. Divide the pastry into 8 equal portions and roll out each to a 3mm-thick disc. Line 8cm fluted tart tins with the pastry, then chill in the fridge for 15 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 200°C. Line pastry with baking paper, fill with pastry weights or rice, and bake for 8-10 minutes. Remove paper and weights, then bake for an additional 8-10 minutes until golden. Reduce oven temperature to 180°C.
  • For the pecan filling, mix together the egg, maple syrup, sugar, butter, and pecans in a bowl. Spoon evenly onto the bases. Bake for 25-30 minutes until firm. Let cool for 1 hour before serving.
  • Plate the individual pies and generously crown each with a scoop of creamy ice cream before presenting to eagerly awaiting guests.
