Ingredients
- 200 grams bar-one or Mars bar (UK) or Milky Way (US)
- 200 millilitre double cream or single cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Slice the chocolate bars into small bite-sized pieces.
- Add the heavy cream, chocolate pieces and vanilla extract to a medium-sized saucepan. Set the heat to medium-low and begin gently stirring as the cream warms up.
- Initially, the chocolate will melt, followed by the caramel, which may leave behind some clumps of congealed nougat centres - this is expected.
- Continue stirring the mixture, ensuring it stays below boiling point. Use a spatula to squish down any remaining clumps of nougat. They will gradually break down as you stir.
- Once the sauce is velvety smooth, remove it from the heat. If you still encounter any stubborn nougat pieces, a quick blend with a stick blender should help smooth them out.
- Transfer the sauce to a serving jug and let it cool slightly before serving. (The longer it sits and cools, the thicker it will become.)
Cup of Yum
Notes
- You can enhance the sauce with these delicious additions:
- Copped up nuts like hazelnuts.
- A shot of whisky or rum (reduce the cream by the same amount)
- A shot of Amarula, Baileys or Kahlúa (reduce the cream by the same amount)
- Other flavour extracts like coffee or caramel.
- Mini marshmallows.
- Sea salt flakes.
