Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 60 ml Water
- 120 ml Heavy cream
- 50 grams Unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 100 grams Semi-sweet chocolate
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Place over medium heat and stir gently until the sugar dissolves completely.
Once the sugar has dissolved, stop stirring and allow the mixture to come to a boil. Continue cooking, without stirring, until the mixture turns a deep amber color. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
Reduce the heat to low and slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring constantly. Be cautious as the mixture will bubble vigorously.
Add the unsalted butter and salt, continuing to stir until both have fully melted and incorporated into the caramel.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the semi-sweet chocolate until completely melted and smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract for added depth of flavor.
Allow the sauce to cool slightly before transferring to a jar or serving dish. Serve warm or store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Reheat gently before serving if it thickens.
