Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less, but requires additional unattended time. Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups toasted pecan halves |
3 tablespoons superfine granulated sugar |
1/3 cup graham cracker crumbs (from about three 5- by 2 1/2-inch graham crackers) |
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon |
Directions:
1. Finely chop 1/2 cup pecans.
2. In a food processor grind remaining 2 cups pecans with a pinch salt, occasionally scraping down side of bowl, until pecans release their oil and mixture becomes a smooth paste, about 3 minutes. Transfer pecan butter to a bowl and stir in remaining ingredients until combined well.
3. Form level teaspoons of pecan butter into balls and roll, no more than 2 at a time, in chopped pecans, pressing pecans gently to make adhere. Chill truffles, in layers separated by wax paper, in an airtight container at least 1 hour, or until firm, and up to 4 days.
