White Pecan Praline Fudge Recipe
Description
This recipe features a white chocolate fudge base prepared by gently melting white chocolate chips with sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract, ensuring smoothness without boiling. Half of this fudge mixture is poured into the baking pan to form the first layer. The pecan praline is cooked separately by combining brown sugar, white sugar, corn syrup, butter, condensed milk, salt, and pecan halves, heated to the soft ball stage (around 235°F) to reach the correct caramel consistency while stirring constantly to avoid burning.
Once cooked, vanilla is added to the praline. The praline is poured over the initial fudge layer, and then the remaining fudge is poured back on top, creating a layered effect. The fudge is allowed to set at room temperature for 4 to 6 hours or overnight until firm. The final product is cut into squares showcasing the creamy fudge and crunchy praline layers.
This white pecan praline fudge is a rich confection ideal for gifting or special occasions, offering a combination of creamy sweetness and nutty chewiness. The recipe requires careful temperature control during caramel preparation for the desired texture.
