Instructions
1
Roast the almonds
Spread the almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake in the oven preheated to 170°C for 20 minutes. Let cool and set aside.
2
Cook the sugar
Meanwhile, bring the water and sugar to 121°C in a saucepan.
3
Make the praline
Add the vanilla pods and the warm roasted almonds to the cooked sugar, stir off the heat to sand the sugar, then caramelize over medium heat. Pour everything onto a silicone mat to cool.
4
Grind
Once the praline has cooled, roughly chop it, then blend into a paste using a grinder or food processor. Be careful not to grind it too fine—keep some texture. Store in the refrigerator.
