What goes with Praline Paste?
Praline paste combines cooked nuts and sugar, ground until released nut oil carries the fine solids. Hazelnut, almond and other specified nut versions differ in fat, roast and sweetness. Both fruity sablage and more deeply caramelised preparations belong here; plain nut butter, marzipan and loose brittle crumbs do not.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Praline Paste?
Bitter cocoa and coffee counter concentrated sweetness, while dairy spreads the nut aroma and softens bitterness. In savoury applications, acid can turn the rich sweet paste into a dressing. Select the nut and sugar percentage first: a70% nut paste behaves differently from a50% version.
