Servings4
3 cups (350 g) coarsely chopped pecans
1 ¾ cups (350 g) granulated sugar
1 ¾ cups (350 g) packed light brown sugar
¾ cup (175 mL) whipping cream (35%)
6 Tbsp (90 mL) 2% milk
6 Tbsp (90 g) unsalted butter
1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla extract

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

1

Preheat the oven to 350 F (180 C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

2

Sprinkle the pecan pieces in an even layer and toast for about 15 minutes until browned a little. Allow to cool and transfer to a bowl.

3

Place the granulated sugar, brown sugar, cream, milk and butter into a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan and bring to a full boil over high heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches 230 F (110 C) measured on a candy thermometer. Add the pecans all at once and continue to cook to 237 F (114 C) while stirring constantly. Remove from the heat, stir in the vanilla and salt and then let sit without stirring until it cools to 212 F (100 C), 10-15 minutes.

4

Line 2 baking trays with parchment paper. Once the praline mixture cools to the correct temperature, use a wooden spoon to stir it vigorously to “seed” it, so that it thickens to a satin consistency and is thick enough to spoon out. Drop spoonfuls of the praline mixture onto the baking trays.
