Ingredients

  • 1 cup pecans
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the pecans evenly on a baking sheet and toast them for about 8-10 minutes, or until fragrant. Once toasted, let them cool for a few minutes.
  2. Step 2: In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the sugar, butter, water, vanilla extract, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture begins to boil.
  3. Step 3: Reduce the heat to low and add the toasted pecans to the saucepan. Stir well to coat the pecans with the caramel mixture. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring continuously, until the caramel thickens slightly.
  4. Step 4: Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the praline sundae topping cool for a few minutes. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
  5. Step 5: Once cooled, the praline sundae topping is ready to be served. Drizzle it generously over your favorite ice cream sundaes and enjoy!
