Questions about Praline
What is praline?
The name can mean nuts coated in caramelised sugar, the brittle made by crushing them, or a smooth paste ground from them. In some English-speaking traditions, it also means a soft nut-and-sugar confection.
How do you make praline at home?
Toast the nuts first, then cook sugar to a deep amber caramel, around 170 °C. Stir in the nuts, spread the mixture on baking parchment and leave it to cool completely before breaking it into pieces or blitzing it into a paste.
How should you store praline?
Keep brittle or whole praline nuts in an airtight container in a cool, dry cupboard; moisture makes the caramel sticky. Store praline paste in a clean, sealed jar in the fridge and bring it to room temperature before stirring or using.
What can you use praline for?
Crushed praline adds crunch to ice cream, cakes and chocolate desserts; praline paste can flavour buttercream, ganache and fillings for pastries. Fold brittle pieces in just before serving if you want them to stay crisp.
What can you use instead of praline?
For crunch, use toasted chopped nuts with a little crushed toffee or caramel brittle. For a smooth praline paste in a cake filling, use a nut butter mixed with melted chocolate and a little sugar, though it will taste less caramelised.
Is praline the same as pralines?
Not always: praline often means caramel-coated nuts or a paste made from them, while pralines can refer to individual sweets, including soft nut candies. The exact meaning depends on the recipe and the confectionery tradition it comes from.
Does praline contain nuts?
Usually, yes: almonds, hazelnuts or pecans are common, and the nut may be present as a paste even when you cannot see pieces. Check the ingredient list if you need to avoid a particular nut, as recipes and fillings differ.
How much energy is in a piece of praline?
A typical piece of 39 g contains 189 kcal. Praline is a concentrated sweet, so a small piece can be a satisfying serving.
