Instructions: Take pecans, place them on a sheet tray and place in oven for 10 to 15 minutes until lightly toasted. Remove and allow to cool. Place nuts in a robot-coupe and grind to a fine powder, set aside.

In a mixing bowl place the yolks with a whip on high speed whip until fluffy. Add sugar, beat until pale yellow and mixture is thick. Remove from machine, place in a medium-sized mixing bowl, fold in pecans and bourbon.
