Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 g granulated sugar
- 60 g unsalted butter
- 120 ml heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 100 g mixed nuts (toasted and chopped)
- 300 g fruit, marshmallows, or cake cubes for dipping
Instructions
In a medium-sized heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the granulated sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly with a heatproof spatula or wooden spoon.
Allow the sugar to melt completely and turn a deep amber color, being careful not to let it burn. This should take approximately 6-8 minutes.
Once the sugar has melted and evenly caramelized, quickly stir in the butter. The mixture will bubble vigorously, so stir until fully combined.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream while continuing to stir. The mixture will bubble up again, so perform this step carefully. Stir until smooth and fully incorporated.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
Allow the caramel to cool slightly for 3-5 minutes before transferring it to a fondue pot or heatproof serving dish.
Stir in the toasted and chopped mixed nuts to the caramel fondue, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Serve immediately with an assortment of fruits, marshmallows, or cake cubes for dipping. Keep the fondue warm using a low flame or tea light if using a fondue pot.
