Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered erythritol
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Spread the chopped pecans evenly on the baking sheet and toast them in the oven for about 5-7 minutes, until fragrant and lightly browned. Remove from the oven and set aside.
- In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the butter starts to brown and has a nutty aroma, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the heavy cream, powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, and salt to the browned butter and stir to combine.
- Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and reaches a temperature of 240°F (115°C) on a candy thermometer.
- Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in the toasted pecans.
- Spoon the mixture onto the parchment paper in small rounds, making sure to leave enough space between them as they will spread out a bit as they cool.
- Let the pralines cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then transfer them to the fridge or freezer to finish setting.
- Once fully set, the pralines can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.
