Salted Caramel Dipping Sauce
Prep time | 3 minutes |
Cook time | 15 minutes |
Total time | 18 minutes |
Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup water
- 85g unsalted butter (about 4/5 of a stick)
- 125ml whipping cream
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt or fleur de sel
Note
A perfect dip for fruit or soft pretzels, this also works as a delicious topping for frozen treats when slightly warmed.
Directions
1. | Pour sugar into a heavy bottom sauce pan. Pour water over top, but do not stir. Place pan over high heat and bring to a boil. |
2. | Watch pan closely while boiling. After 8-10 minutes the sugar will start to yellow and lightly brown around the edges. You can swirl the pan to evenly distribute the colour. Watch the colour very closely, when you reach a light caramel colour, add the butter immediately while whisking. |
3. | As soon as the butter is melted, remove pan from heat. Add whipping cream very slowly while whisking (otherwise it will bubble over). |
4. | Add salt, allow to cool for 2 minutes before transferring to glass jars/ containers. |
