Mini Texas Pecan Pies (12 ea of 4" pies)

Each mini pecan pie measures 4 inches across and weighs about 5.5 ounces, which is right around the size of a single-serving dessert plate. An order brings you 12 of these mini pies, so you have plenty for sharing or stretching across multiple gatherings. For a family holiday gathering, twelve pies easily serve a dozen guests with one pie each, or you can slice them in half to feed twice that many. For a corporate gift program, the dozen format makes it easy to share with a small team or split across multiple recipients.

This is the middle option between our two other pecan pie offerings, and the size is genuinely different in feel. The full 9 inch pecan pie is the holiday centerpiece for a big family dinner, sliced and served with ice cream. The mini pecan pie tarts (pecan tassies) are tiny two-bite treats that suit a dessert tray or party platter. These 4 inch mini pies sit right between, giving you a complete personal-sized pie that one person can enjoy on their own without having to commit to slicing a full pie or settling for a two-bite tassie. They are also easier to ship as gifts than a full pie.

Yes, the recipe is identical to our full-size Texas Pecan Pie, just baked in 4 inch pans instead of one 9 inch pan. The filling is the same smooth, sweet custard that has been handed down in our family for five generations and earned features on the Food Network, Southern Living, and Bon Appetit. Each mini pie is topped with orchard fresh pecan pieces, and every crust is prepared with care. The only difference is the format, which means you get the same Texas Pecan Pie flavor in a more shareable, more giftable presentation.

The mini pies arrive baked and ready to enjoy, and we include an instruction card in every order. Many folks prefer them at room temperature, which lets the filling settle into its proper custardy texture. If you like them warm, twenty to thirty seconds in the microwave or a few minutes in a low oven brings out the buttery notes and softens the pecans on top. A scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of fresh whipped cream is the traditional finish. For storage, keep the pies covered at room temperature for a couple of days, in the refrigerator for about a week, or in the freezer wrapped tightly for several months.

We have shipped a lot of mini pies over the years, and the packaging is designed to keep all twelve pies snug and protected. Each pie sits in its own tin and the box is built so the pies do not slide around during transit. The pecan pie filling sets up firm enough to handle normal shipping motion without the pecans on top getting displaced. We ship these all over the country every holiday season and the vast majority arrive looking like they just came out of our orchard kitchen. If anything ever arrives less than perfect, give our country store a call and we will make it right.
