Keto Brown Butter Pralines

These keto pralines with pecans and cream are the ultimate easy holiday dessert...my whole family loves them and only 1 net carb! A quick cook on the stove then they firm up in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. Easy peasy!

Prep Time: 5 minutesCook Time: 11 minutesChilling time: 1 hourTotal Time: 16 minutes Servings: 10

Ingredients
2 Sticks Salted butter
2/3 Cup Heavy Cream
2/3 Cup 1:1 sugar free sweetener (see notes)
1/2 teaspoon Xanthan gum
2 Cups Chopped pecans
Maldon sea salt

Instructions
Prepare a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Brown the butter in a saucepan over medium high heat, stirring often. This should take less than 5 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream, xanthan gum, and sweetener. Remove from the heat.
Stir in the nuts and place in the refrigerator to firm up for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. The mixture will get really thick. Scoop into 10 cookie shapes onto the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with the maldon salt, if desired. Let refrigerate on the baking sheet until hardened.
Store in an air tight container and keep refrigerated until serving.

I have noticed when using xanthum gum that everything (bowls and utensils) seem to turn slippery. Is this my imagination? Also I felt that same slippery feeling was in these cookies.

I definitely going to try these...I'm learning to use xanthum gum...try to make a gravy for my pork chops from pan drippings I won't tell how bad it was ....I should have known with gum at the end of the name 🙁

Do these keep their shape at room temperature? I did see you suggest refrigerating until serving, yet I'm curious if they would be okay at room temp for those of us who are sensitive to cold bites. Thanks so much=)

mine flopped.... the xanthan gum did not thicken the toffee, and the cream curdled

I'm down with the salty/sweet, lol. People have warned me about xanthan gum clumping up, so I'm always a little scared of it. I noticed you just dumped in with no worries. Is this because this is a cookie that would probably hide any clumps so no matter or do you think its dispersing more readily in butter or because of the heat..? I love the idea of leaving my candy thermometer out of it, and I love that you made such a big batch so some can go right in the freezer. Looking forward to trying this.

Where is the description box? I need to see a recipe..

[tdoonie]

Is there anything you can substitute for the xanthan gum? Could you use cornstarch?

[peggydicillo]

It looked like brown sugar but that is not stated in recipe. Also, does it matter which ingredients you add first?

[shervin]

This recipe reminds me of chocolate oatmeal " no bake" cookies ( we called them missouri cookies) wonder if they could be "replicated" like this somehow.

[jordanleemusic]

How do you store these? In fridge/freezer, or do they hold up out of there?

[shaiteach]

Can you use arrowroot instead of xantham gum?

[msbrt]

Please can you confirm roughly how many grams is two sticks of butter? I'm guessing the amount could make or break the recipe
