Caramel-lemon winter pralines

These caramel-lemon winter pralines are a celebration of seasonal warmth and citrus brightness. With a base of CARMA® Caramel Citron and a rich ganache made from CARMA® Dark Venezuela 70% infused with lemon, each praline is encased in a shimmering gold shell for a festive finish. 

“I created this praline to capture the cozy richness of caramel with a bright lemon twist—perfect for winter. The gold finish adds a touch of celebration, making it ideal for gifting or elegant seasonal menus.”
