Print Recipe

No-Bake Coconut Pecan Praline Dreams is a sweet, nutty no-oven dessert blending toasted pecans, shredded coconut, and a rich praline glaze. Ready in under 30 minutes, it’s perfect for quick gatherings, snacks, or indulgent treats made from simple, all-natural pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale

Praline Mixture

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Nut and Coconut Mix

  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup shredded coconut

Instructions

  1. Toast the Pecans and Coconut: Spread chopped pecans and shredded coconut on a baking sheet and toast in the oven or on a stovetop pan until golden and fragrant, about 5 minutes. This enhances their natural oils and flavor.
  2. Prepare the Praline Mixture: In a medium saucepan, combine butter, brown sugar, and light corn syrup over medium heat. Stir constantly until the mixture begins to boil and sugar dissolves completely, forming a smooth base.
  3. Add Baking Soda and Vanilla: Remove from heat and quickly stir in baking soda and vanilla extract. The mixture will foam, lightening the praline’s texture and adding crunch once cooled.
  4. Combine and Mix Thoroughly: Immediately pour the praline mixture over the toasted pecans and coconut, stirring well to evenly coat all pieces for rich flavor and crunch.
  5. Shape and Chill: Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Let cool completely at room temperature or refrigerate to set. Once firm, the pralines are ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • Use fresh pecans for better flavor and crunch.
  • Maintain moderate heat to prevent sugar burning or crystallizing.
  • Work quickly after adding baking soda, as the mixture sets fast.
  • Line your tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  • Store finished pralines in an airtight container to keep them crisp and fresh for days.
