Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Pecans
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Granulated erythritol
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Sea salt
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and combine with erythritol, stirring constantly until the mixture becomes smooth and the erythritol has dissolved.
Add the heavy cream and continue to cook the mixture, still stirring frequently, until it begins to thicken, approximately 7-10 minutes.
Stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt, then add the pecans. Mix well to ensure the pecans are fully coated with the creamy mixture.
Using a tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of the pecan mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming clusters.
Allow the pralines to sit at room temperature until completely set, approximately 30 minutes. You can speed up the process by placing them in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.
Once set, carefully remove the pralines from the parchment paper, and store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
