Zubereitung von Chewy Pecan Diamonds
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 13x9x2-inch baking pan with foil, leaving a 1-inch overhang on all sides. Butter the foil.
- In a food processor, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup powdered sugar, ¼ cup cornstarch, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Pulse until combined.
- Add 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into cubes, and process until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Bake for 25 minutes, or until the crust is set and lightly golden. Remove from oven and let stand while preparing the topping.
- Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (165°C).
- In a heavy medium saucepan, combine 1 cup packed light brown sugar, ½ cup light corn syrup, and ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture boils.
- Boil for 1 minute. Stir in 1 cup pecan halves and ¼ cup heavy cream.
- Continue to boil, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly (about 3 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Pour the hot topping evenly over the warm crust.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until the caramel is darker and bubbles thickly.
- Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let cool completely.
- Lift the foil out of the pan and place it on a cutting board.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the cooled pecan caramel into 1 ½ x 1-inch diamonds.
- Makes approximately 32 diamonds.
