Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut cream
- 1 cup cane sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 cups pecan halves
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
Directions
Step 1
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine coconut cream, cane sugar, light brown sugar, and coconut oil. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to ensure the sugar dissolves.
Step 3
Once the mixture reaches a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and attach a candy thermometer to the side of the pan. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the mixture reaches 235°F (soft ball stage). This should take about 10-12 minutes.
Step 4
Once the desired temperature is reached, remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract, sea salt, and maple syrup.
Step 5
Add the pecan halves and thoroughly mix until the pecans are fully coated and the mixture begins to thicken slightly as it cools.
Step 6
Quickly, using a tablespoon or small scoop, drop portions of the pecan mixture onto the prepared parchment paper, forming individual pralines.
Step 7
Allow the pralines to cool completely at room temperature until they are firm and set, about 1 hour.
Step 8
Store the pralines in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
