Chewy Pecan Pie Brittle

Total Time: 10 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

  • Servings: 1
  • 1/2 cup pecans (more would work if you really love pecans)
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1/2 cup coconut butter
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt

Recipe

  • 1 place a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  • 2 add a tablespoon of coconut oil then add your pecans to the pan. toss around to coat in the oil and keep moving to help roast your pecans without burning them.
  • 3 when your pecans begin to become fragrant and browned a bit, add your honey and maple syrup. mix well.
  • 4 once your sugar begins to thicken just a little, add your coconut oil and coconut cream concentrate. keep mixing with a rubber spatula to make sure your coconut cream concentrate doesn’t burn.
  • 5 then add your cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
  • 6 when everything is well combined, turn burner on low and let simmer for about 3-4 minutes to thicken just a bit. (it won’t get super thick, so don’t expect that).
  • 7 while your mixture is thickening, line a 8×8 glass baking dish with parchment paper, pressing the paper down into the sides of the dish.
  • 8 then pour your mixture into the parchment-lined baking dish and use a spoon to spread out the pecans throughout the mixture.
  • 9 place in the freezer and let freeze for an hour or more. when you pull it from the freezer, it should be completely hardened but still have a chewyness to it.
  • 10 use a knife to break it into pieces.
  • 11 store in the freezer until serving!
