Nana’s 3-Ingredient Pecan Log
Ingredients:
1 (11-ounce) box vanilla wafers
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
3 1/2 cups finely chopped pecans
Instructions:
Crush the vanilla wafers: Use a food processor to finely crush the vanilla wafers.
Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the crushed wafers, sweetened condensed milk, and chopped pecans until well combined. This mixture will be thick and may require using your hands to fully incorporate.
Form the logs: Divide the mixture in half and shape each portion into a log. Place each log on a large sheet of wax paper and wrap tightly.
Chill: Refrigerate the wrapped logs for at least 2 hours to firm up.
Serve: Once chilled, slice the logs into 1/4-inch slices and serve.
Tips:
For enhanced flavor, toast the pecans in a 350°F oven for 8 to 10 minutes before chopping and adding to the mixture.
These pecan logs make excellent gifts; consider wrapping them in festive paper or placing them in decorative tins.
Enjoy this simple yet indulgent treat during the holiday season!
