Savannah Candy Kitchen Praline
A classic Southern confection, pralines are a must-try. Their creamy, rich texture coupled with the nutty flavor of pecans is truly irresistible. Here’s how you can make them at home!
Ingredients
- 1 cup pecans, chopped
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Start by preparing your workspace. Lay out a sheet of parchment paper or a silicone baking mat on a baking tray to set your pralines once they are cooked.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, heavy cream, butter, and salt. Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring continuously until the sugar completely dissolves.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Allow it to boil without stirring for about 5 minutes. You want to achieve a soft-ball stage (approximately 236-240°F on a candy thermometer).
- Once you reach the right temperature, remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the chopped pecans and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly to ensure that the nuts are evenly coated with the sugar mixture.
- Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking tray. Remember to act quickly, as the mixture will begin to set as it cools.
- Let the pralines cool completely at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. They will firm up as they cool.
- Once cooled, enjoy your homemade Savannah Candy Kitchen Pralines! You can store them in an airtight container for several days (if they last that long!).
This recipe might just become a new favorite in your household. The rich, buttery flavor combined with the crunchy pecans makes these pralines absolutely decadent. Perfect for sharing with friends and family or savoring all by yourself!
