Ingredients
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Unsalted butter
- 120 milliliters Heavy cream
- 30 milliliters Cognac
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
- 300 grams Dipping items (e.g. strawberries, banana slices, marshmallows, pound cake)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized, heavy-bottomed saucepan, add the granulated sugar and spread it evenly over the bottom of the pan.
Step 2
Heat the saucepan over medium heat and allow the sugar to melt without stirring. Swirl the pan gently to ensure even melting and prevent burning.
Step 3
Once the sugar has melted and turned a deep amber color, carefully add the unsalted butter. The mixture will bubble up, so use caution. Stir the butter in until fully incorporated.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low and slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring continuously. The mixture will bubble vigorously—be cautious to avoid splatters.
Step 5
Continue stirring the caramel until smooth and creamy.
Step 6
Remove the pan from heat and stir in the Cognac, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
Step 7
Transfer the caramel fondue mixture to a fondue pot or a heatproof serving bowl kept warm over a candle or warming stand.
Step 8
Arrange your chosen dipping items (e.g., strawberries, banana slices, marshmallows, or pound cake) on a platter around the fondue pot.
Step 9
Invite your guests to dip and enjoy!
