Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup water
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water over medium heat. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves, then stop stirring.
Allow the sugar mixture to boil undisturbed for 6-8 minutes or until it turns a deep amber color. Watch closely to prevent burning.
Remove the saucepan from heat and carefully whisk in the unsalted butter until melted. Be cautious, as the mixture will bubble up.
Slowly add the heavy cream while whisking continuously. Return the mixture to low heat, if needed, and whisk until smooth.
Stir in the dark chocolate chips until fully melted and incorporated into the caramel sauce.
Add the fresh raspberries to the saucepan, using the back of a spoon to gently mash some of the berries, releasing their juices into the sauce.
Stir in the pure vanilla extract and salt. Simmer the sauce on low heat for 2-3 minutes to blend the flavors.
Remove the sauce from heat and allow it to cool slightly before serving. The sauce will thicken as it cools.
Serve warm or at room temperature over your favorite desserts, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Reheat gently before use.
