Maple Cream Fluff Recipe

Prep: 25 min. + chilling Cook: 5 min.

Yield: 12-15 Servings

25 5 30

Ingredients

2 envelopes unflavored gelatin
1/2 cup cold water
1 cup maple syrup
2 cups milk
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 cup chopped pecans, toasted, divided
2 cups vanilla wafer crumbs (about 60 wafers), divided

Directions

In a large saucepan, soften gelatin in cold water; let stand for 1 minute. Cook and stir over low heat (do not boil) until gelatin is dissolved, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat; slowly stir in syrup. Set pan in ice water; whisk in milk. Continue whisking until mixture has thickened, about 10 minutes; remove pan from ice bath and set aside.
In a bowl, beat cream until stiff peaks form. Fold in 3/4 cup pecans and the maple mixture. Sprinkle 1 cup wafer crumbs into a 13-in. x 9-in. dish; top with maple mixture. Sprinkle with remaining pecans and wafer crumbs.
Cover and chill for at least 6 hours or overnight. Refrigerate any leftovers. Yield: 12-15 servings.
