Description
A rich and glossy chocolate salted butter caramel sauce made with melted sugar, salted butter, cream, and dark chocolate, perfect for drizzling over desserts or decorating cookies.
Ingredients
- 150 g granulated sugar
- 40 g salted butter
- 120 ml liquid cream
- 60 g dark chocolate, chopped
Instructions
- Place the granulated sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat and allow it to melt slowly without stirring until it turns into a golden caramel.
- Once the caramel reaches a deep golden color, carefully add the salted butter and stir gently until fully melted and incorporated.
- Warm the liquid cream slightly in a separate container.
- Slowly pour the warm cream into the caramel while stirring continuously until the mixture becomes smooth.
- Add the chopped dark chocolate and stir until it melts completely and the sauce becomes glossy.
- Remove from heat and allow the sauce to cool slightly; it will thicken as it cools.
- Use the sauce to drizzle over desserts or decorate cookies.
Notes
- Do not stir the sugar while it melts to prevent crystallization.
- Warm the cream before adding it to avoid the caramel seizing.
- Add a pinch of sea salt for a stronger salted caramel flavor.
- The sauce thickens as it cools but can be reheated gently if needed.
- Perfect for cookies, cakes, pancakes, waffles, and ice cream.
