Praline Sundae Topping Recipes

Steps:

• Melt butter over medium heat in a small pan. Stir in brown sugar, whipping cream and vanilla.
• Cook and stir until it reaches a full boil then reduce heat and boil gently for three minutes stirring occasionally.
• Remove from heat and stir in chopped pecans (and shot of rum if serving the adult version). Serve warm.

Steps:

• 1. PREP/PREPARE
• 2. Gather your ingredients.
• 3. Add the brown sugar, salt cream, butter and brandy (if using) to a saucepan.
• 4. Set the burner to medium low, and bring the mixture up to a simmer.
• 5. Chef's Tip: During the heating process, continue to stir the mixture.
• 6. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 4 to 6 minutes.
• 7. Chef'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.
• 8. Take off the heat, and stir in the vanilla.
• 9. Add the pecans and allow the sauce to cool down until just slightly warm.
• 10. Chef'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.
