Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Unsalted butter
- 120 milliliters Heavy cream
- 30 milliliters Cognac
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
- 300 grams Dipping items (e.g. strawberries, banana slices, marshmallows, pound cake)
Instructions
In a medium-sized, heavy-bottomed saucepan, add the granulated sugar and spread it evenly over the bottom of the pan.
Heat the saucepan over medium heat and allow the sugar to melt without stirring. Swirl the pan gently to ensure even melting and prevent burning.
Once the sugar has melted and turned a deep amber color, carefully add the unsalted butter. The mixture will bubble up, so use caution. Stir the butter in until fully incorporated.
Reduce the heat to low and slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring continuously. The mixture will bubble vigorously—be cautious to avoid splatters.
Continue stirring the caramel until smooth and creamy.
Remove the pan from heat and stir in the Cognac, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
Transfer the caramel fondue mixture to a fondue pot or a heatproof serving bowl kept warm over a candle or warming stand.
Arrange your chosen dipping items (e.g., strawberries, banana slices, marshmallows, or pound cake) on a platter around the fondue pot.
Invite your guests to dip and enjoy!
