Description
Delicious Salted Caramel Keto Pecan Turtles that are perfect for a low-carb treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup pecan halves
- 1 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond butter
- 1/4 cup powdered erythritol
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Spread the pecan halves on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until fragrant. Remove from the oven and let cool.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, almond butter, powdered erythritol, and vanilla extract. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and begins to bubble.
- Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place clusters of toasted pecans (about 3-4 pecans per cluster) on the parchment.
- Drizzle the caramel mixture over each cluster, ensuring they are well-coated. Allow the caramel to cool and set for about 15 minutes.
- Melt the sugar-free chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate over the caramel-coated pecan clusters.
- Sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt over each turtle.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden.
- Once set, remove the turtles from the parchment paper and serve.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, try adding a teaspoon of instant coffee granules to the caramel mixture.
- You can also substitute the pecans with walnuts or almonds for a different taste.
