Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup pecans (toasted)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract (pure)
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare your workspace by gathering all ingredients and tools including a sturdy saucepan, wooden spoon, baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and a spatula.
  2. In the saucepan, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, and heavy cream over medium heat. Stir constantly until the sugars dissolve completely and the mixture begins to boil.
  3. Once boiling, add in the butter. Stir gently for about five minutes until it thickens slightly without reaching soft ball stage.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in toasted pecans and vanilla extract until evenly distributed.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping them into mounds if needed as they cool.
  6. Allow pralines to cool at room temperature until hardened (about one hour). Enjoy!
