Some specialty latte recipes are complicated and require cabinets full of unusual ingredients, but this is not one of them. This recipe is fairly simple and only takes a few minutes to make. Enjoy your homemade maple pecan latte!
In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, heavy cream, maple syrup, butter, and condensed milk. Heat on medium until the ingredients are melted. Stir continuously to prevent burning.
Once the mixture has a smooth, even texture, turn the heat up and leave it on high for 4 minutes. Continue to stir the mixture while it heats.
After 4 minutes, remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the pecan butter and condensed milk. You can skip the condensed milk, but your sauce will be thinner and runnier. It is essential to add the pecan butter when the mixture is still hot.
