Introduction

These sugar free pecan pralines were inspired by a trip that Dylan and I took to Savannah, Georgia. We loved EVERYTHING about that city. It was one of the most beautiful places we have ever been!

Not only was it beautiful, but the food was great, the people were friendly, and best of all… there were candy stores everywhere! I mean EVERYWHERE!

It seemed like there was a candy store on every block, and we had no problem with that at all. I think we probably spent most of our travel budget on candy, like any responsible adult would. I probably should point out that we took this trip before we started keto. 😉

After a trip like that, how could we not attempt to make a sugar free pecan praline!? Pralines are just too good not to have in your life!

If we were to go back now, it would (probably) go a little differently. Either way, in every candy store in Savannah, right in the front of the store, they sold pralines, and as soon as we tried one we fell in love!

Pecan Pralines

Pralines are a pretty simple candy. They’re pretty much made of some sort of nut (usually pecans) and sugar. Oh, and butter.

In other words, just the essential ingredients for DELICIOUS!

It was pretty easy to keto-fy our favorite Savannah snack. We subbed sugar for Golden monk fruit and used muffin cups as a mold (though this step isn’t required). Those are pretty much the only differences between our pralines and a traditional praline.

Ingredients Needed For Keto Pecan Pralines

You probably already have all the ingredients you need to make these keto pecan pralines! Sweetener, heavy cream, butter, cinnamon, and pecans are all that you will need to whip up this delicious treat!

Even though it’s not technically an ingredient, it is worth mentioning that we used a muffin pan to help shape our keto pecan pralines. It is totally optional to use one, but for us it just made the process a little easier! Without one, you run the risk of thinner pralines but still delicious.

What Keto-Friendly Sweetener To Use:

For these sugar free pecan pralines we thought it would be best to use Lakanto’s Golden monk fruit. This sweetener is the keto equivalent of brown sugar, and it works PERFECTLY in these keto pralines!

Though we do recommend Golden monk fruit for this recipe, pretty much any sweetener will work. Our second choice of sweetener is Lakanto’s Classic monk fruit.

Monk fruit, whether classic or golden, has no aftertaste or cooling effect like other keto-friendly sweeteners, it’s a zero on the glycemic index, has zero additives, and has a 1:1 ratio to sugar. Best of all, monk fruit tastes great!

If you want to try Lakanto’s monk fruit for the first time, or if you just need to restock, order HERE and use our code ‘BUTTERTOGETHER‘ for an additional 20% off your entire purchase! This offer is good not just on monk fruit, but any item on Lakanto’s site.
