Servings: 12

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup pecan halves
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup powdered erythritol (or keto-friendly sweetener of choice)
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
  2. Spread the pecan halves evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Toast them in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until they become fragrant and slightly golden. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning. Once toasted, remove them from the oven and set them aside to cool.
  3. In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Add the powdered erythritol, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well until the sweetener dissolves and the mixture is smooth.
  4. Increase the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Let it cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly and reaches a caramel-like consistency.
  5. Remove the saucepan from the heat and quickly stir in the toasted pecans, ensuring they are well coated in the caramel mixture.
  6. Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the pecan mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Allow them to cool and harden at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
  7. Once the pralines have cooled and solidified, transfer them to an airtight container for storage.
  8. Enjoy these keto pralines as a delicious treat or a sweet ending to a meal. They can also be given as a thoughtful homemade gift to your fellow keto enthusiasts.
