Preparation

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, then add the brown sugar and the 35% cream. Stir well, bring to a boil, then slightly reduce the heat. Let it simmer at a rolling boil for exactly 3 minutes without stirring.
Pour the mixture into a large bowl and whisk in the icing sugar until smooth and lump-free. Gently fold in the pecans.
Transfer to an 8 x 8 inch (20 x 20 cm) square pan lined with parchment paper, smoothing it evenly. Let it cool for 15 minutes at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours until fully set. Cut into squares and serve! It keeps for a few days in the fridge. But if you love it as much as I do, it won’t last that long!
