You are most likely familiar with praline, which is used in many pastries (including the Paris-Brest that we love): this paste made from roasted nuts isn't that difficult to make. Today, instead of using hazelnuts or almonds, we decided to make it with peanuts, for a delicious and above all very addictive result! Follow the steps below to make this recipe :-)

FAQ ❓

Can you make praline with other nuts?

Absolutely! You can make praline with other nuts such as hazelnuts, almonds, pistachios, or sesame... Don't hesitate to try different variations!
You can add melted chocolate to make a spread, eat it as is, or use it to make a new take on Paris-Brest or Royal au chocolat!
You can store it in the refrigerator. Remember to stir it from time to time so that the natural oil in the nuts doesn't remain on top.
Use a powerful chopper to make praline, otherwise it could overheat. We used this chopper.
Remember to take breaks rather than blending continuously until the praline forms. Let the appliance cool down if it starts to heat up.
Yes, you can. Think about how you plan to use it when freezing it: if you want to take out small amounts, pour the praline into an ice cube tray.
