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
Directions
Step 1
Begin by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Step 3
Once melted, add the heavy cream and granular erythritol sweetener to the saucepan and stir well.
Step 4
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring continuously to prevent the sweetener from burning, for about 5-6 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the pecans, continuing to mix until all pecans are thoroughly coated in the caramel mixture.
Step 6
Add the vanilla extract and salt, stirring to incorporate completely.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Let the pralines cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes or until firm.
Step 9
Once set, transfer them to an airtight container for storage, and enjoy your low carb pecan pralines!
