I wasn't to sure what to call this recipe, because it really is a ganache only different. It will remind you of Butter Pecan Ice Cream. I wanted ganache on my cake, but I also wanted to incorporate a Butter Pecan flavor. So, I combined the two flavors. Hope you like it as much as I do.

Ingredients

12 ounce bag of premium white chocolate morsels 4 ounces of heavy whipping cream 3 Tablespoons butter 1/4 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

In a microwave safe bowl, heat the heavy whipping cream just to boil. Pour in the white chocolate morsels. Let this sit for 1 minute without stirring. Slowly fold the mixture together. Do not beat it, as this incorporates bubbles. Place this in the frig for the time being. In an oven-safe pan. put your butter and pecans. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Let them cool completely. Once cool fold them into the white chocolate ganache. This is best use as a filling and not under fondant as the pecans will make bumps in your fondant. But it is so YUMMY!
