Pecan Praline Sauce For Cheesecake
Ingredients
- 2 cups granulated brown sugar
- 6 tbsp salted butter
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 1 cup chopped pecans (or nuts of your choice)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium-sized pot, combine the brown sugar, salted butter, and evaporated milk. Bring the mixture to a boil over low medium heat while whisking constantly.
- Once the mixture has come to a boil, allow it to cook for 3-4 minutes while whisking. The mixture should become thick and have a creamy consistency.The perfect consistency for this sauce is when it coats the back of a spoon without immediately running off. It should be sticky, thick, yet pliable.
- Once the mixture coats the back of the spoon, lower the heat. Add your chopped nuts to the hot sauce, give the ingredients a whisk, and remove them from the heat.Allow the pecan praline sauce to cool completely before adding it on top of your cooled cheesecake. Alternatively, you can store this sauce in a clean mason jar.
