Ingredients
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 60 ml Water
- 120 ml Heavy cream
- 50 grams Unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 100 grams Semi-sweet chocolate
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Place over medium heat and stir gently until the sugar dissolves completely.
Step 2
Once the sugar has dissolved, stop stirring and allow the mixture to come to a boil. Continue cooking, without stirring, until the mixture turns a deep amber color. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to low and slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring constantly. Be cautious as the mixture will bubble vigorously.
Step 4
Add the unsalted butter and salt, continuing to stir until both have fully melted and incorporated into the caramel.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the semi-sweet chocolate until completely melted and smooth.
Step 6
Stir in the vanilla extract for added depth of flavor.
Step 7
Allow the sauce to cool slightly before transferring to a jar or serving dish. Serve warm or store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Reheat gently before serving if it thickens.
