    Add the nuttelex to the bowl and melt at 60 deg for 2 minutes on speed 1. Add the brown sugar, eggs, cashews, pears and vanilla. Mix on reverse speed 1 for 30 seconds. Pour into the pastry cases and divide the mixture evenly between them. Top with a pastry shape..

    Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the fillings are set. Allow to cool in the tray for 5 minutes before removing to a rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge.

Tip

These little pies are divine! Suitable for the RPAH and Failsafe diet making them a great alternative for fruit mince pies at Christmas time. Leaving them plain on top or a different shape can make them perfect for any occasion. Lovely served at room temperature or heated up with ice cream or custard.

  • Thanks Panoukla.  The cream

    Thanks Panoukla.  The cream cheese works beautifully in the pastry. I am sure the lower fat block version would work fine, I have not tried it with the tubs that are softer, it may not give it the right consistency unless you add more flour to compensate. I just use the normal block one as I believe all the others ones contain a perservative.

    I will definitely give these a go at Christmas. Interesting addition of the cream cheese to the pastry. Is It ok to use the lower fat spreadable type?. Thanks for posting.
