    Walnut Praline is a quick and easy one to make when you want something crunchy or interesting to top your Ice creams. I wanted to make it with Almonds and ended up using walnut as I didn't have my stock of almonds refilled.

    Praline is the french word where sugar is caramelized and nuts are added to the set. While the American method is to use cream in making the same. This is very much our own Chikki or Pakam Pappu or Kadalai Mittai, where you can simply alter the nuts used to get different flavours.

    I wanted to use something different so went ahead using praline and used ghee, which is what I normally use to get that silky crispy brittle.

    Hubby dear loved the plain praline and to be honest he didn't like the mango parfait that had this topped. Whereas I loved it so much and didn't want to tell him that. I only thought different and new flavours are hard to try on everybody.

      I just love praline. Whenever I make it for icecream or cake, end up eating half of it 😀

      I'll probably like eating it as is instead of using it as a topping. Nice one, Valli.

      I came to know about praline only after watching Master Chef series. Your walnut praline looks so yum and it would make a nice topping for desserts.
