3-Ingredient Pecan Log
There’s something magical about a recipe that brings back childhood memories while also saving you time in the kitchen. This 3-Ingredient Pecan Log does exactly that. With just vanilla wafers, sweetened condensed milk, and pecans, you can create a chewy, nutty candy that feels both nostalgic and festive.
Ingredients
- 1 box vanilla wafers
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 3 1/2 cups finely chopped pecans
Instructions
- Crush the wafers into fine crumbs using a food processor or by rolling in a bag with a rolling pin.
- In a large bowl, mix wafer crumbs with sweetened condensed milk and chopped pecans until thick and sticky.
- Divide mixture into two portions. Roll each on parchment into a log about 2 inches wide. Wrap tightly and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
- Once firm, unwrap and slice into 1/4-inch rounds. Serve on a platter and enjoy.
Notes
Toast pecans before mixing for extra flavor. Roll logs in powdered sugar, coconut, or more pecans for fun finishes. For gifting, make smaller logs wrapped in parchment and ribbon. Store in fridge up to 1 week or freeze up to 3 months.
