Low Carb Bakewell Pecan Danish Tartlets

Another recipe I got from the IPD forum. Poor Weemam discovered this recipe on lowcarbmegastore.com  after a particularly bad day, but every cloud and all that....

Lovely and cake like, all IPD friendly, don't eat them all at once as they keep quite well in an air tight tin.

The smell while they were cooking was absolutely delicious!!! The pecan on top gives crunch to the soft cake underneath, and it was cake like too. I used  splenda and they were sweet enough without any aftertaste.
Today I thought I deserved a dessert - very nice I must say!

2. Allow to cool before adding egg. Mix well.
3. Spoon mixture into pudding tin and smooth tops.
4. Press 3 to 4 pecan halves on top of each tartlet.
5. Bake 20 minutes - do not overbake or they dry out.

I've just made these but am wondering about my measurements. I used the scales & weighed 10g of Splenda, bad after taste. What did you use for measuring your Splenda? Thanks, Jen x
