Pecan Ball With Rum Sauce Recipe


Pecan Ball With Rum Sauce Recipe
This is a classic Pittsburgh-original dessert. Sometimes served with chocolate or hot fudge, this one has a yummy rum sauce. You know you're in Pittsburgh when you see a Pecan Ball on the dessert menu.

Ingredients
  • 1/2 c. water
  • 1 1/2 c. sugar
  • 2 t. light corn syrup
  • 1/2 c. dark rum
  • 1/2 c. light rum
  • 1 c. pecans, chopped and toasted
  • your favorite vanilla ice cream, made into 3-4" balls and frozen well

Directions
  1. Add water, sugar and corn syrup to a medium-sized saucepan and bring to boil over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve all of the sugar. Continue cooking over the same heat, swirling the pan occasionally, until the mixture is a deep caramel color.
  2. Remove from heat, and stand back as far as you can and slowly add about 1 T. rum (the rum will splatter in the hot syrup, so be careful). Continue adding the rum, about a T. at a time, until the mixture stops splattering. Slowly stir in the rest of the rum. If not used immediately, store the sauce at room temperature; it will keep about a week.
  3. Put the pecans on wax paper and roll the ice cream balls over the nuts, coating completely. Re-freeze until you want to serve the dessert.
  4. To serve: place each pecan ball into a dish, drizzle with rum sauce and top with whipped cream.
