Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°. Spread the pecans on a baking sheet and toast them until they turn slightly dark and release a fragrant aroma. This should take about 6-8 minutes. Let the pecans cool down, then roughly chop them.

  2. In a small skillet or saucepan, combine the brown sugar, butter, and 2 tsp. of miso. Heat the mixture over medium heat, whisking frequently, until the butter is melted and there are no clumps of sugar left. This should take around 2 minutes. Add ¼ cup of cream, bring to a simmer, and cook until the mixture thickens enough to coat a spoon. This should take about 2 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a small bowl and stir in the chopped pecans and ¼ tsp. of salt. Let the butterscotch mixture cool.

  3. Place the remaining 1 Tbsp. of miso in a separate small bowl. In a small saucepan, heat ½ cup of cream over low heat or in the microwave until it is warm. Pour the warm cream over the miso in the bowl and whisk vigorously until there are no large clumps (small speckles are fine). Chill the mixture until it becomes cold, which should take approximately 30 minutes.

  4. In a medium bowl, combine the condensed milk, vanilla, and the remaining ½ tsp. of salt.

  5. In another small bowl, combine
