Tips:

- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. - Make sure the butter is softened before you start mixing it. - Don't overbeat the mousse, or it will become grainy. - Chill the mousse for at least 2 hours before serving, or overnight for the best results. - When making the praline, be careful not to burn the sugar. - If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the sugar by dropping a small amount into a bowl of cold water. If it forms a hard ball, it is ready. - To make the whipped cream, make sure the cream is very cold before you start whipping it. Whip the cream until it forms soft peaks. - To assemble the mousse, layer the mousse and praline in a parfait glass or individual serving dishes. - Top with whipped cream and garnish with a pecan half.
