Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans
- 0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine brown sugar, heavy cream, and unsalted butter over medium heat.
Stir the mixture continuously until the butter is fully melted and the sugar has dissolved, about 3-4 minutes.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
Stir in the chopped pecans and continue cooking for another minute to allow the nuts to toast slightly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and add the chocolate chips, stirring until fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.
Let the topping cool for 5 minutes before drizzling over your favorite ice cream.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Reheat gently before serving.
