Toasting the pecans before adding them to the filling enhances their nutty flavor and adds a delightful crunch to the tarts. Ensure the cream cheese and butter are properly softened before creaming them together for a smooth and lump-free crust. Do not overfill the tart shells, as the filling will expand during baking and could spill over. If the crusts start to brown too quickly, you can tent them loosely with aluminum foil during the last 10 minutes of baking. These tarts can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
