    These mini pecan pies are naturally dairy free, and a fabulous dessert for holiday parties throughout the season. They’re easy to make, can be made and stored in advance, and travel well (in case you need to pack along a dessert for yourself!

    Easy Mini Pecan Pies or Tarts for Special Dairy-Free Occasions

    The recipe for these delicious pecan tarts was shared with us by Denise Hall, back when she wrote for Fit Fare.

    One of my all time favorite holiday recipes is for mini pecan pies. I first tried this recipe at a “Taste of the Holidays” party sponsored by the local hospital where I worked. Part of my job as a dietitian at the Outpatient Diabetes Center was to find healthy recipes that a caterer could prepare for a holiday event targeted to our local community.

    The last year I participated we had over 500 attendees so we needed recipes that were simple, good for you, could be prepared in quantity, and could be made ahead. The recipe we served at the party is a modified version of one we found in the November 2000 Cooking Light magazine.

      It’s not dairy free if it contains eggs.

        A lot of people do confuse eggs with dairy, but eggs are in fact dairy free. See this post to learn more -> https://www.godairyfree.org/ask-alisa/are-eggs-dairy
