Do you all want to share what flavor you are making for the cheesecake or let it be a surprise when you actually post the photos?

I am making the Parline flavor. Parlines are big her in NOLA so I felt it fitting. I am also going to make some parlines and drizzle them on the top. I am going to get my stuff this evening and make it tomorrow. We are going to have a family thing on Sunday so they will get cheesecake. What would be a good way to make mini cakes? Can you put them in a cupcake pan?

Gretchen you can do minicakes in a cupcake pan but you will only have to cook them for about 20-30 minutes,....check after 15 and only bake until the center is almost set. I love praline .....yum...,pecans and brown sugar.....one of my first cheesecake flavors!

Thanks... I hope I can do this... I have never made parlines, my BFF does that, but she is at the beach for the weekend, so I am going to have to try. Thanks for sharing all the reciepes and extras..... Can't wait to work on it this weekend. I guess we are all using the holiday weekend to do this project.

it is just brown sugar, butter, cream and pecans right Gretchen?

Pralines are so delicious and I found a recipe for real NOLA pralines on the www.frenchquarter.com site

In case anyone gets inspired besides Gretchen!

New Orleans Pralines

•1 cup light brown sugar, packed
•1 cup granulated sugar
•½ cup light cream
•1 ½ cups pecans, halved
•2 tablespoons butter
Combine sugars and cream in a heavy 2-quart saucepan and bring to boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until mixture forms a thick syrup.

Add pecans and butter and continue to cook over medium heat, stirring frequently.

Remove sauce pan to a heatproof surface (such as a wire rack) and let cool for 10 minutes.

Use a tablespoon to drop rounded balls of the mixture onto sheet wax paper or foil, leaving about 3 inches between each ball for pralines to spread. Allow to cool.

Makes about 12 candies.

Gretchen if you dont want to go through all that trouble you can just substitute brown sugar for the granulated in the recipe and fold in pecans
Comment by Karen Marie on September 7, 2010 at 9:53am
I just found out that the proper temperature to cook pralines is 320 degrees...same as for caramel......so if you make them please cook over medium high heat and always have a bowl of ice water next to you in case of spills...it will instantly cool the syrup and prevent burns
