Mawmaw Bellard's Pralines (Microwave Recipe) image

There are tons of microwave praline recipes out there, but this is the one that tastes like the ones my mawmaw made, before microwaves were a thought..LOLOL The ones in stores aren't like hers, they are dark brown and creamy. Her pralines were thinner, glassy looking surface, and very sugary!

Time 7m

Yield 15 pralines

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/3 cup evaporated milk
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup pecans
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • combine all except for vanilla extract in a microwave safe 1 quart bowl or measuring cup.
  • Microwave on high for about 6 minutes, stirring every 2 minute.
  • Add Vanilla extract and stir quickly.
  • Drop by teaspoonfuls onto waxed paper and allow to harden.
  • If it sets up too fast while in the bowl just add a bit of evaporated milk.
  • My problem was always spooning them out before the sugary mixture was thick enough or had cooled enough. I solved that by stirring quickly and checking to see if it starts to harden around the edges of my spoon or bowl. That's when it's ready to spoon out. It's very humid here so unsure how different climates will affect the outcome.

I added a little bit of chocolate chips to these pralines and they were amazing! I highly recommend trying this variation.

I'm allergic to pecans, so I substituted walnuts in this recipe. They turned out great!

I had a little trouble getting the pralines to set up properly. I think I might have overcooked them a bit. But they still tasted good.

These pralines are a little too sweet for my taste, but they're still very good. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I've made pralines in the past, but this recipe is by far the easiest and most foolproof. The microwave makes the process so much faster and easier. And the pralines taste just as good as the ones I've made in the oven.

I was skeptical about making pralines in the microwave, but I was pleasantly surprised. They were so easy to make and turned out delicious! I'll definitely be making these again.
