Use high-quality butter for the best flavor. Freshly grated nutmeg is highly recommended over pre-ground nutmeg for a more vibrant aroma and taste. Watch the topping carefully while broiling to prevent burning. The sugar can caramelize quickly! Store leftover praline topping in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

Apr 12, 2025Be careful not to overcook it, or it will become too hard. I learned that the hard way, but it still tasted good!
