Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh strawberries
- 60 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Brown sugar
- 120 ml Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 2 tablespoons Orange juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Rinse the strawberries thoroughly, remove their green tops, and if desired, slice them in halves. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until it becomes fully liquid.
Add the brown sugar to the melted butter and stir constantly with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula to combine.
Allow the mixture to cook for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture begins to bubble gently.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream, whisking continuously to incorporate it into the butter and sugar mixture. Be cautious, as the hot mixture may splatter slightly.
Add the orange zest, orange juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the saucepan. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
Continue cooking the sauce over medium-low heat for another 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and has a glossy, smooth consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the butterscotch sauce to cool slightly for 2-3 minutes.
Arrange the prepared strawberries in serving bowls or plates.
Drizzle the warm orange butterscotch sauce generously over the strawberries.
Serve immediately, and enjoy this delightful balance of sweet, tangy, and creamy flavors!
