  • 1 pack 15 Athens Original Phyllo Shells, thawed and slightly toasted

Chocolate Praline Filling

  • 1/4 cup (120mL) salted caramel sauce
  • 1/2 cup (3oz) dark chocolate chips
  • 2 Tbsp (30mL) heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup 60 chopped pecans, toasted

Caramel Whipped Cream

  • 1/4 cup (60mL) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1 Tbsp (15mL) salted caramel sauce

Method

Shells

  1. Place the Athens Original Phyllo Shells in the toaster oven and toast for about 5 minutes on 400F (204C). Remove them and set aside to cool.

Chocolate Praline Filling

  1. In a small pot over medium-low heat, combine the caramel, chocolate and heavy whipping cream. Stir slowly but continuously for 2-3 minutes, until all of the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.

  2. Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in the chopped pecans.

  3. Use a spoon to fill each shell to the top. Refrigerate the shells for a few minutes while you make the whipped cream.

Caramel Whipped Cream

  1. Use an electric mixer at full speed to beat the cream until soft peaks form. Add the caramel sauce and continue beating just until stiff peaks begin to form. Don’t over beat.

  2. Scrape the edge and plop a dollop over each shell! Top with additional chopped pecans and/or salted caramel drizzle!

Notes

Depending on how much you fill the shells with filling, you can make up to 25 pies. If you want to make more, double the whipped cream recipe.
You can use store bought caramel or homemade caramel - there won't be a major difference in taste. But my Homemade Salted Caramel Sauce is delicious and you will have leftover to use in other recipes.
