Ingredients

  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 3 TB butter
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 2 TB sweetener ZenSweet or Swerve-granular
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 oz dark or sugar-free chocolate chopped

Instructions

  • Over medium heat, brown butter until golden. Stir frequently being careful not to burn.
  • Once golden, add heavy cream to butter and whisk together. Turn down heat to a simmer.
  • Whisking quickly, add sweetener and vanilla, being sure to break up any lumps.
  • Continue whisking occasionally for the next 5 minutes as mixture begins to thicken.
  • Mixture should look similar to caramel and be slightly darkened. Remove from heat.
  • Mix in chopped pecans, then spoon clusters onto parchment-lined tray or plate, or in silicone molds.
  • Place in freezer for 5 minutes (30 minutes for molds)
  • Remove clusters from molds, if using. Microwave dark chocolate for 20-40 seconds until they appear melted and smooth. Drizzle over clusters.
  • Tip: These keep well in the refrigerator. Freezing is recommended for long-term storage.
