Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup toasted pecans
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Toast the Pecans: Spread pecans evenly on a baking sheet and toast in a preheated oven or pan until fragrant and lightly browned to intensify their nutty flavor.
  2. Combine Butter and Brown Sugar: Melt butter over medium heat, then stir in brown sugar until the mixture is dissolved and bubbly, creating a sweet, caramel-like praline base.
  3. Add Coconut and Pecans: Remove the mixture from heat and quickly stir in shredded coconut and toasted pecans, ensuring each piece is well coated with the warm sticky mixture.
  4. Flavor with Vanilla and Salt: Mix in vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt to enhance and balance all the flavors harmoniously.
  5. Shape and Set: Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto parchment paper and let cool at room temperature or refrigerate until firm and delightfully chewy.

Notes

  • Use fresh pecans and shredded coconut for the best flavor and texture.
  • Monitor the butter and sugar mixture carefully to avoid burning, keeping heat moderate for a smooth praline consistency.
  • Let the praline dreams set completely before serving to achieve perfect chewiness and avoid stickiness.
  • Adjust brown sugar amounts to match your preferred sweetness without overpowering the nuts.
  • Store pralines in an airtight container to preserve freshness and texture.
