Pecan Praline Sundae image

Raise you have if you love a good ice cream sundae? Chocolate, Fudge, Butterscotch, I love 'em all. This sundae is a combination of good French vanilla, and a one-of-a-kind praline sauce. So, you ready... Let's get into the kitchen.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 c dark brown sugar, packed
6 Tbsp sweet butter, unsalted
3 Tbsp heavy cream
1 Tbsp brandy (optional but nice)
1/8 tsp salt, kosher variety, coarse grind
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 c fresh pecans 1/2 coarsely chopped, 1/2 halved
good french vanilla ice cream
whipped cream

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.
  • 11. PLATE/PRESENT
  • 12. Place about 1/2-inch of the mixture into a Sunday glass.
  • 13. Add a nice scoop of ice cream
  • 14. Cover with a bit more of the sauce.
  • 15. Add another scoop of ice cream.
  • 16. Cover with more sauce.
  • 17. Top with whipped cream, and maybe a cherry. Enjoy.
  • 18. Keep the faith and keep cooking.
