Home made praline base

Preparation time: 60 min

Preheat your Oven at 400 °F

• Praline base

  1/ Place the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and place the sheet in the oven for 6 to 8 minutes.

  Be careful with the coloring of the hazelnuts (we just want to roast them).

  2/ Place a pan on the fire, sprinkle the bottom with sugar, once melted, repeat the operation with the sugar, so on. Once your sugar is completely dissolved, make sure to obtain a medium dark caramel color. Immediately add the roasted hazelnuts and the pinch of salt. Coat the hazelnuts well in the caramel, pour the mixture onto a baking sheet or a silpat (silicone) and let it cool down.

  3/ In a food processor, break the caramelized hazelnuts into small pieces. Turn on the food processor, let it run until you obtain a smooth cream, more or less smooth, here is your hazelnut praline.
