SALTED BUTTERSCOTCH & PECAN NO-BAKES



Salted Butterscotch & Pecan No-Bakes image

When I was deciding what type of cookie to make for a Christmas swap, I opted for something with coconut, pudding mix and salted caramel. Boxed, these could make a great gift as well. I like to drizzle caramel over the tops of the cookies before serving for a special touch. -Stacey Ritz, Sudbury, Ontario

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 servings (5 cups fondue, 24 cookies)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup pecans
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 stick (8 tablespoons) butter, softened
2 tablespoons cold water
Flaky sea salt
3 cups sugar
1 cup water
1/4 cup honey
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup Scotch whisky
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • For the shortbread: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment.
  • In a food processor, pulse together the pecans and sugar just until sandy--do not overpulse, as you don't want a paste. Add the flour and salt; pulse until combined. Cut butter into small cubes and add to the food processor. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the water and pulse quickly, until a rough dough forms.
  • Turn out onto a lightly floured work surface and press into a cohesive dough. Roll to a 1/4-inch thickness. Using a knife or a rectangular cookie cutter, cut into 1-by-3-inch rectangles, about 24 total; re-roll scraps if necessary.
  • Sprinkle the tops of the cookies lightly with sea salt. Transfer to the prepared baking sheets and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Bake until golden brown at the edges, 14 to 17 minutes.
  • Let the cookies cool to room temperature.
  • For the fondue: Combine the sugar, water and honey in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook until the mixture is a deep-amber caramel color, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Carefully pour in the cream--stand back as the mixture will bubble and splatter. Once the bubbling subsides, turn off the heat and whisk the caramel until smooth.
  • Whisk in the whiskey, butter, salt and vanilla.
  • Pour the sauce into the fondue pots and keep warm.
  • Serve the fondue with the cookies.

1/2 c shredded coconut
1/2 c butterscotch chips
4 eggs
1 (12 oz.) can evaporated milk
1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
2 Tbsp light brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
2 Tbsp butter, cut into small pieces
SALTED BUTTERSCOTCH SAUCE
1/2 c butter
1/2 c light brown sugar
1/4 c light corn syrup
1/2 c heavy cream

CARAMELIZED BANANAS:
3 Tbsp butter, divided (as needed)
3 Tbsp light brown sugar, divided (as needed)
4 bananas (not too ripe), peeled, sliced
1 vanilla ice cream, if desired

Steps:

  • 1. To make bread pudding: Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray a 13x9 pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside. In a large bowl, toss together bread, nuts, coconut, and butter scotch chips. Spread on pan. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, evaporated milk, condensed milk, light brown sugar, vanilla extract, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt. Pour over bread mixture in baking dish, making sure bread is completely soaked in egg mixture. Cover; let sit 30 minutes. Dot with small pieces of butter. Bake, uncovered, 45-55 minutes or until top is crisp and golden brown.
  • 2. To make butterscotch sauce: In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in light brown sugar, and corn syrup. Bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring, until thick, syrupy and golden in color, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in cream and kosher salt. Cover to keep warm.
  • 3. To make caramelized bananas: In a large, nonstick skillet, over medium high heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons light brown sugar. Once butter-sugar mixture becomes bubbly, add bananas. Cook, flipping once, about 2-3 minutes per side, or until caramelized on both sides. Remove to a plate. (May need to work in batches to avoid overcrowding bananas. If so, add 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon light brown sugar to skillet before adding second batch of bananas.)
  • 4. To serve, top bread pudding with bananas and spoon butterscotch sauce over top. Serve immediately. If desired (to make this an even more decadent dessert), serve with vanilla ice cream.
