PRALINE PECAN CRUNCH SNACK MIX



Praline Pecan Crunch Snack Mix image

In our family, we call this "Crunchy-Crunchy." My mother-in-law makes a big batch of this every Christmas. We receive it in the big box of gifts and my youngest is very excited to see "Grandma's Crunchy-Crunchy" snack mix. I sometimes make it myself, but it's more special to receive it from Grandma, you know? It is great for gift giving in a nice air-tight plastic container. Great to put out for a sweet snack, any time of the year! Note: I have added a little salt to the recipe as a personal preference. If you want to leave it out as the original recipe calls for, you can do so. Enjoy!

COFFEE-PRALINE CRUNCH ICE CREAM CAKE



Coffee-Praline Crunch Ice Cream Cake image

Inspired by butter-pecan ice cream, this cake combines crunchy praline with graham crackers, coffee ice cream and fudge sauce to make an impressive, but easy to assemble dessert. Store-bought pralines are perfect here, but if you can't find them, you can make them from scratch with pantry staples. While they can be a little tricky, even a failed praline tastes great nestled in an ice cream cake, but toffee brickle or even just plain chopped nuts could stand in for the praline, too. While you could certainly buy fudge sauce, it's the one component that is definitely better homemade, just sweet enough and deeply chocolatey. Make a double batch for future sundaes.

Time 5h25m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups/355 milliliters heavy cream
2/3 cup/145 grams light or dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup/70 grams Dutch-process or natural cocoa, sifted
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Nonstick cooking spray
1 1/2 quarts/48 ounces coffee ice cream (about 3 pints)
10 graham crackers (about 6 ounces/160 grams)
2 cups/340 grams chopped store-bought or homemade praline, plus more for serving
3/4 cup/180 milliliters cold heavy cream, whipped to stiff peaks just before serving

Steps:

  • Prepare the fudge sauce: Set a fine-mesh sieve over a medium bowl. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, sugar, butter and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until the butter is melted and the sugar has dissolved, about 2 minutes.
  • Whisk in the cocoa powder and cook for another minute or two, whisking occasionally, until the mixture is thick and glossy. Run the sauce through the sieve into the bowl, working out any lumps directly in the sieve. Stir in vanilla. Let cool completely, about 1 hour. (You should have about 2 cups.) About 30 minutes before you assemble the cake, remove the ice cream from the refrigerator to soften.
  • To assemble the cake, spray a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan lightly with nonstick cooking spray. (This is just to help keep the plastic in place.) Press plastic wrap into the pan, making it as smooth as possible against the bottom and sides of the pan, leaving a 3-inch overhang on each of the two long sides.
  • Spread one third of the softened ice cream (about 2 cups) evenly over the bottom of the pan. (If your ice cream is still too firm to spread, cut it into slices, arrange them in a layer and smooth using an offset spatula.) Lay 3 crackers over the top, breaking them to fit as needed. Top with 1/3 of the fudge sauce (about ⅔ cup), using an offset spatula to spread evenly, and half of the praline, patting into an even layer. Top with another 1/3 of the ice cream, 3 more crackers, 1/3 more fudge sauce and the remaining praline. Finish with the remaining 1/3 of ice cream and 4 more crackers. Use the plastic overhang to wrap the cake up tightly and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours and preferably overnight.
  • To serve, unwrap the plastic wrap, then quickly rub the outside of the pan with a warm, moistened kitchen towel to loosen. Flip out onto a serving plate and remove the plastic wrap. Top with whipped cream and more chopped praline. Cut slices with a knife dipped in hot water. (If too hard to slice, let sit for a few minutes to soften.) Serve with the remaining fudge sauce, warmed, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pralines. This will give your cereal crunch the best flavor.
  • Toast the pecans. This will enhance their flavor and make them more crunchy.
  • Use a good quality cereal. A hearty cereal, like Rice Chex or Wheat Chex, will hold up well in the crunch.
  • Don't overcook the sugar mixture. You want it to be thick and syrupy, but not too hard.
  • Work quickly when adding the pralines and pecans to the sugar mixture. You want them to be evenly coated before the sugar hardens.
  • Spread the cereal crunch out on a baking sheet to cool. This will help it to stay crispy.
  • Store the cereal crunch in an airtight container at room temperature. It will keep for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Praline cereal crunch is a delicious and easy-to-make snack or breakfast cereal. It's perfect for a quick and easy meal on the go or for a sweet treat after dinner. With its combination of sweet and crunchy textures, praline cereal crunch is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
