divinity recipe

With only a handful of ingredients, this crunchy and sweet divinity recipe is a classically simple candy that&#039;s perfect for sharing!

Divinity Recipe

sugar

water

corn syrup

vanilla extract

pecans (or whole pecans to place on top instead, if desired)

Place egg whites in the bowl of a stand mixer and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, syrup, and water. Stir constantly to dissolve sugar. Once sugar is dissolved, continue to cook over medium heat without stirring until the temperature reaches 252°F (or the “hard ball” stage: about 8-10 minutes).

Just before the temperature is reached, beat egg whites in a mixing bowl on medium speed until stiff peaks form.

Once temperature is reached, slowly add hot sugar mixture in a thin stream over the egg whites, beating constantly and scraping the sides of the bowl when needed.  Add vanilla. Beat until candy holds its shape and is not shiny anymore (about 5-6 minutes).

NOTE: Do not overmix or candy will get stiff and crumbly.

Immediately fold in pecans, if desired.

Quickly drop by heaping spoonfuls onto prepared baking sheet, while the candy is still hot. This works best with two people dropping spoonfuls at the same time since the candy cools down very quickly.

Let the candy set until it is dry to the touch.

Divinity Dessert Recipe

salt

¼ teaspoon cream of tartar

pecans (walnuts, pistachios, almonds…)

Egg white

white sugar

Vanilla extract is a solution containing the flavor compound vanillin as the primary ingredient. Pure vanilla extract is made by macerating and percolating vanilla pods in a solution of ethyl alcohol and water. In the United States, in order for a vanilla extract to be called pure, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration requires that...

vanilla bean extract

Set a large 6-8 quart saucepot over medium heat. Attach a candy thermometer to the side of the pot.

Add the sugar, corn syrup, water, and salt to the pot. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, lower the heat a little if needed and watch the thermometer. When it reaches 260 degrees, remove the pot from heat.

Meanwhile, set out a stand mixer. Place the egg whites and cream of tartar in bowl of the mixer. Using the whip attachment, whip on high until a stiff meringue forms. Turn off the mixer.

Once the sugar mixture reaches 260 degrees F, turn the mixer on high. Hold the saucepot carefully with potholders and VERY SLOWLY pour the sugar syrup into the egg whites. Take your time to pour a slow thin stream so the sugar beats gently into the whites. Once all the syrup is in the mixer, add the vanilla extract and continue to beat another 5-10 minutes, until the mixture is white, and stiff enough to hold its shape when you lift it with a spoon.

Finally, beat in the chopped pecans. Turn off the mixer.

Set out a sheet of parchment or wax paper. Spray two spoons with nonstick cooking spray (or butter them.) Then use the spoons to portion out small 2 teaspoon dollops of Divinity Candy. Place onto the paper.

Repeat, re-spraying the spoons as often as needed, until all the candy is portioned out into little pillows.

Allow the candy to set and dry for 2 hours, or until dry to the touch. If the air is humid this could take up to 12 hours. Once dry, move to an airtight container.
