Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 quarters cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons sea salt
Instructions
In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan, add the granulated sugar over medium heat.
Stir the sugar constantly with a wooden spoon or heat-resistant spatula as it begins to melt. Break up any clumps and continue stirring until the sugar is completely melted and turns a deep amber color. Be careful not to burn it.
Once the sugar is fully melted, immediately add the unsalted butter. The mixture will bubble vigorously. Stir continuously until the butter is fully incorporated, about 1-2 minutes.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream while continuing to stir. The mixture will bubble up again. Stir until the cream is fully combined and the caramel is smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt until well combined.
Allow the caramel fondue to cool slightly before transferring it to a fondue pot or heat-safe serving bowl.
Serve warm with an assortment of dippers like sliced fruits (apples, bananas, strawberries), marshmallows, pretzels, or cookies for dipping.
