How to make New Orleans Pralines

New Orleans Native Charlie Andrews demonstrates on how to make Pralines from scratch. Pralines are a sugar candy with a creamy consistency and have nuts such as almonds and pecans in them. Praline originated in Belgium. The recipe was brought to Louisiana and New Orleans created what is known as the American Praline. This recipe calls for about 10 to 12 Pralines and they are sweet, creamy and delicious. Hope you all will give this New Orleans classic a try.

Praline Candy Troubleshoot- If your Pralines come out too soft like caramel, no worries the issue can be solved. Do not throw your candy away. You'll have to melt the candy in the evaporated milk. Add 1/3 cup evaporated milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and let come to a simmer. Add the candy pieces and let sit for 1 minute. From there carefully stir the mixture until the candy has melted. Once the candy melts, let the mixture simmer for 6 to minutes while stirring continuously. Transfer back on to parchment paper and let set. Hope this helps. Thanks!

Possibly the best cooking channel out there! Simple and clear approach to imtimidating recipes. This channel is why YouTube was invented. My family loves you, Charlie.

The boil pattern at 3:10 is the most helpful tip! Since electric and gas stoves cook very differently, the amount of time will differ. Knowing to look for "pops" is the magic key to knowing it has cooked long enough. I've yet to hear this described on any other recipe. Thank you! Extremely helpful!

These have the BEST flavor, less ingredients and easy to make. NO candy thermometer, only granulated sugar. I have tried 5 recipes before this one. I have discarded ALL others. Thank you.

My mom is a New Orleans native, I love pralines! I have tried every praline recipe I could find but my favorite type of pralines are creamy ones! I found your recipe and it is AMAZING and tastes exactly like my favorite pralines!!! Thank you so much for sharing this, as a service member who lives overseas, you just brought me a taste of home!!!

Tip: I didn’t have any evaporated milk so I made my own using regular milk boiled down and it worked perfectly!!

[ChassyAri]

My momo taught me how to cook the pohcon candy and I forgot how to do it she older so I'm the cook now but I found you and I'm glad I did to cook this candy cause I cant back be back and forth to new Orleans everytime I want it Texas don't have our candy so I rather make it my self.

Cousin the praline looks and I know they taste good. I used to make these alot and give them out of gifts in a cute gift box especially for holidays but once I became paralyzed I still make some but in the microwave with condense milk instead of evaporated milk. Anyway I also wanted you to know I was a little down in spirit but when I saw your smile it gave me a boost. Keep smiling!

I use this recipe every year because the pralines come out perfect! When you start pounding on the table I always crack up but that’s when you KNOW something’s good 😂
