How To Make pecan praline sundae
-
Step 1PREP/PREPARE
-
Step 2Gather your ingredients.
-
Step 3Add the brown sugar, salt cream, butter and brandy (if using) to a saucepan.
-
Step 4Set the burner to medium low, and bring the mixture up to a simmer.
-
Step 5Chef’s Tip: During the heating process, continue to stir the mixture.
-
Step 6Cook until the mixture thickens, about 4 to 6 minutes.
-
Step 7Chef’s Note: We are making a sauce, not praline candy. If you overcook the mixture, when it cools it will harden into a thick mass, and I hate it when that happens.
-
Step 8Take off the heat, and stir in the vanilla.
-
Step 9Add the pecans and allow the sauce to cool down until just slightly warm.
-
Step 10Chef’s Note: The sauce, is best when it’s first made, and will turn a bit grainy if it’s reheated. That’s not the worst thing in the world; however, you should make it just before serving.
-
Step 11PLATE/PRESENT
-
Step 12Place about 1/2-inch of the mixture into a Sunday glass.
-
Step 13Add a nice scoop of ice cream
-
Step 14Cover with a bit more of the sauce.
-
Step 15Add another scoop of ice cream.
-
Step 16Cover with more sauce.
-
Step 17Top with whipped cream, and maybe a cherry. Enjoy.
-
Step 18Keep the faith and keep cooking.
