Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 4 cups Assorted dippers (e.g., apple slices, banana chunks, marshmallows, vanilla wafers)
Instructions
In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, add the granulated sugar and spread it evenly across the bottom.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the sugar without stirring until it begins to melt around the edges, about 2-3 minutes.
Using a heatproof spatula or spoon, gently stir the melted sugar into the unmelted portions, continuing until all the sugar is fully melted and turns a deep amber color. This should take 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to burn the caramel.
Immediately add the unsalted butter, stirring continuously until fully melted and combined with the sugar.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring. The caramel may bubble vigorously, so proceed with caution.
Once the bubbling subsides, continue stirring until the caramel becomes smooth and glossy, about 1-2 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Transfer the caramel to a fondue pot or heatproof serving bowl. Keep warm using a low flameless heat source or by setting the bowl over hot water.
Arrange the assorted dippers on a platter and serve alongside the caramel fondue. Let guests dip their favorites and enjoy!
