Chocolate Caramel Fudge Sauce
Description
This sauce begins by cooking granulated sugar, water, and light corn syrup carefully over medium heat until the mixture reaches a deep golden brown or copper color, signaling caramelization. Removing it from heat, heavy cream is added cautiously to create a creamy caramel base.
Finely chopped dark chocolate and vanilla extract are stirred in until smooth, and a pinch of sea salt is added to enhance the flavor complexity. The result is a glossy, thick sauce with the rich flavors of caramel and chocolate balanced by a subtle salt finish.
The sauce can be cooled and stored covered in the refrigerator for up to one week, making it a convenient option for topping ice cream, cakes, or other desserts when needed.
Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup light corn syrup
- 1 heavy cream 1/3 cup
- 6 ounces dark chocolate finely chopped
- 2 vanilla extract ½ teaspoon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt sea salt
Instructions
- Whisk together the sugar, water, and corn syrup in a 3-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat, gently tilting the pan side-to-side to help the ingredients cook evenly and avoid burning, for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the sugar turns a deep golden brown/copper color. Once the caramel reaches this color, remove from heat and immediately add in the heavy cream. Be very careful during this step - the caramel will hiss and bubble up aggressively!
- Add in the chopped chocolate and stir smooth. Finally, stir in the vanilla and sea salt. Vigorously whisk the mixture smooth and set aside to cool. Store covered, for up to one week, in the fridge.
