Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the sauce will be. Look for a chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Don't overheat the chocolate: Overheating the chocolate can cause it to seize up and become grainy. Be careful not to let the chocolate get too hot, and stir it constantly.
  • Use a heavy saucepan: A heavy saucepan will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the chocolate from scorching.
  • Be patient: Making praline sauce takes time. Don't rush the process, or you'll end up with a sauce that's not smooth and creamy.
