- 2 cups of granulated sugar - 1/2 cup of evaporated milk - 1/2 cup of corn syrup
Two cups of chopped roasted pecans, half a cup of unsalted butter, and a quarter teaspoon of salt
- Two cups of coconut meat
- One teaspoon of pure vanilla essence
Here are the directions:
1. Before you begin, place a couple of pieces of wax paper on your tabletop. This will serve as a mold for these delicious sweets.
2. Melt the butter in a medium-sized saucepan and add the milk that has evaporated, corn syrup, salt, and sugar. While the butter melts and the ingredients are thoroughly combined, stir the mixture over medium heat.
3. Bring the ingredients to a boil, then simmer, stirring regularly, for approximately three minutes. Our goal is for it to reach the ideal consistency of praline.
Fourth, take the saucepan from the stove. After the nuts have been roasted, add the shredded coconut and vanilla essence and stir until combined.
5. Drop the mixture onto the wax paper using a tablespoon or a tiny ice cream scoop. The imperfection is part of the appeal, so don't worry about making them exactly round.
6. After baking, remove from oven and allow cookies to cool completely. I won't be surprised if you sneak one in a little earlier than the typical 20-30 minutes, though.
Tips and Variations: - You may roast the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat before cutting them for a nuttier taste. To avoid burning, keep them moving, and when they release their heavenly aroma, you'll know they're done.
- Once the dough has cooled a little, stir in half a cup of chocolate chips, or pour melted chocolate over the cookies once they have set, if you're craving chocolate.
- For those who are trying to avoid dairy, you may use coconut milk in place of evaporated milk and a dairy-free butter replacement.
- Put your No-Bake Coconut Pecan Praline Dreams in an airtight container so they stay fresh. To make them last longer in hot and humid weather, put them in the fridge.
