Ingredients

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
0.5 cup brown sugar
0.25 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
0.25 teaspoon salt
1 cup pecans

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter until fully liquified.

Step 2

Add the brown sugar and heavy cream to the saucepan. Stir continuously until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture begins to gently bubble.

Step 3

Lower the heat to medium-low and allow the mixture to simmer for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt until well combined.

Step 5

Fold in the pecans, ensuring they are fully coated with the caramel-like sauce.

Step 6

Allow the praline topping to cool slightly before serving. It will thicken further as it cools.

Step 7

Serve warm over ice cream, pancakes, pie, or any dessert of your choosing. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
