Description
This homemade praline sauce is quick and easy to make and full of rich flavor. Pour it over ice cream, brownies or cheesecake.
Ingredients
Scale
¼ cup butter
½ cup chopped pecans
1 cup dark brown sugar
1 cup heavy cream
¼ cup dark corn syrup
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Pinch of salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract or paste
Instructions
- Melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add pecans and cook for about four minutes until the pecans are toasted and the butter begins to brown.
- Whisk in dark brown sugar, heavy cream, dark corn syrup, cornstarch and salt. Constantly whisking, cook until the sauce comes to a boil and thickens. This should take about six to eight minutes.
- Turn off the heat and stir in vanilla extract. Enjoy!
Notes
- Even after the sauce thickens, it will still be pourable. It will continue to thicken as it cools. If you'd like to get it back to a pourable stage, heat in the microwave in short increments.
