This Southern-inspired sauce, made with brown sugar and pecans, is the sweetest way to top any dessert. Drizzle it over ice cream, pound cake or our Praline Bread Pudding —or just eat it by the spoonful (we’re not here to judge).

Steps

    Reduce heat to low; slowly and carefully stir in whipping cream and vanilla. Return heat to medium; heat to simmering. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened. Let stand 10 minutes. Cover and refrigerate any remaining sauce.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

    Try praline sauce over your favorite ice cream for a delicious treat!
