Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- 0.5 cup Heavy Cream
- 1 cup Granular Erythritol Sweetener
- 2 cups Pecans
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Begin by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Once melted, add the heavy cream and granular erythritol sweetener to the saucepan and stir well.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring continuously to prevent the sweetener from burning, for about 5-6 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the pecans, continuing to mix until all pecans are thoroughly coated in the caramel mixture.
Add the vanilla extract and salt, stirring to incorporate completely.
Remove the saucepan from heat and, using a spoon or small cookie scoop, drop small mounds of the praline mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
Let the pralines cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes or until firm.
Once set, transfer them to an airtight container for storage, and enjoy your low carb pecan pralines!
