This low carb pecan praline will be a crowd pleaser at your next gathering, event, or let's face it, your family table. It's nutty, sweet, and crunchy.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter 1 stick
- 2 tbsp sweetener monkfruit, splenda, stevia
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup pecan halves
Instructions
- Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or waxed paper.
- Grease the paper with your preferred method (nonstick cooking spray, wipe it with the butter wrapper, etc.)
- Melt butter and sweetener on the stovetop in a medium sized pan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and allow the mixture to brown without stirring it until it reaches a deep caramel color. This takes about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and heavy cream.
- Add pecans to this pot and stir gently to coat.
- Scoop pecans onto the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle any excess sauce over the pecans.
- Refrigerate to set.
Notes
- You can use any sweetener of your choice, but if you want it to be low carb then use Stevia, sucralose, erythritol, monk sweetener, xylitol, yacon syrup, etc.
- Give the pralines at least 20 minutes to set, 2 hours is better. It will depend on a variety of factors, but avoid removing them from the baking sheet prematurely.
- Afterwards, store in an airtight container.
