Chestnut Praline Syrup

Recipe by Veronika Sykorova

This chestnut praline syrup is made with just 5 ingredients and it's the perfect latte syrup for winter and especially for Christmas! Add to coffee, cocktails, or drizzle over pancakes! 

  • Total Time30 minutes
  • Yield1 1/3 cup 1x
  • DietVegan

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup raw pecans
  • 100g peeled roasted chestnuts (8 chestnuts, approximately 1/2-3/4 cup)
  • 1 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/8 tsp sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350F (175C).
  2. Spread the pecans and chestnuts on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 10 minutes. Keep an eye on them to make sure they don’t burn.
  3. Take the pecans and chestnuts out of the oven and chop them into small pieces.
  4. Add to a medium saucepan with brown sugar and water.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves to make sure it doesn’t burn.
  6. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes.
  7. Take the syrup off the heat and stir in vanilla extract and sea salt. Allow to cool slightly before straining.
  8. Strain the syrup through a fine mesh strainer and pour into a glass jar.
  9. Wait till the syrup is fully cooled before closing with a tight-fitting lid. Store in the fridge.

Equipment

Notes

The syrup makes about 1 1/3 cup of syrup which yields about 10 servings if you use 2 tbsp per serving.

The syrup will keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. 

Nutritional info is calculated without pecans and chestnuts as those get discarded. You don't have to toss them though. I like storing them in the fridge for up to a week and adding them to oatmeal, smoothie bowls, or snack on them. You can also freeze them for longer storage.
