Yield Makes about 2/3 cup

Number Of Ingredients 4

Vegetable oil, cooking spray
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup sliced blanched almonds
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Spray a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray; set aside. Bring sugar and 1/4 cup water to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Swirl pan to dissolve sugar. Wash down sides of pan with a wet pastry brush to prevent crystals from forming. Boil until sugar turns light amber, about 7 minutes.
  • Add almonds and salt; cook, stirring constantly, until almonds are toasted and caramel turns dark amber. Pour onto prepared sheet. Let cool completely.
  • Break into shards. Transfer to a food processor; pulse until finely ground with a few larger pieces remaining.

The almond praline was a bit difficult to make, but it was worth the effort. The genoise torte was light and fluffy, and the praline added a nice crunch. I would definitely make this recipe again.

The almond praline was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the genoise torte itself was delicious. I think I'll try making it again with a different type of praline.
