The Salted Rum Praline

Anyone who grew up in the American South has had his or her fair share of pralines (pronounced praw-leens if you’re a true Southerner). An irresistible mix of nuts, caramelized sugar and milk, the recipe first arrived in New Orleans via France. Bayou pastry chefs made the concoction their own by using pecans instead of almonds and adding cream to enrich the deal. Inspired by this perfect confection, we mixed rich caramel sauce with butter pecan ice cream and dark rum to create a liquid version of the candy. A touch of salt makes it that much more enticing. Sip it on your front porch when it’s too hot to do anything else.
