Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup evaporated milk
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 cups shredded coconut
  • 2 cups toasted pecans chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat a skillet over medium heat and toast the chopped pecans for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant and lightly golden. Set aside. Optionally, toast the shredded coconut for extra flavor.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the granulated sugar, corn syrup, evaporated milk, and salt. Cook, stirring constantly, for 5-7 minutes until the sugar dissolves and the mixture gently bubbles. Remove from heat.
  • Stir in the vanilla extract, toasted pecans, and shredded coconut. Mix until well combined.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the sheet, forming mounds or clusters. Let cool for about 30 minutes until set.
  • Once the pralines are set, gently remove them from the parchment and serve.

Notes

Store pralines in an airtight container for up to a week. For extra flavor, drizzle with melted chocolate.
