Caramel Sauce and Toppings

Method

Making Caramel and Assembling

  1. 1

    Prepare the Caramel

    In a medium saucepan, heat the granulated sugar over medium heat. Stir continuously with a wooden spoon until the sugar melts and turns a deep amber color.

  2. 2

    Add Butter and Cream

    Once the sugar has melted, carefully add the unsalted butter and stir until fully melted. Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring continuously. Be cautious, as the mixture will bubble vigorously.

  3. 3

    Season with Salt

    Remove the saucepan from heat and add the sea salt, mixing well until fully incorporated.

  4. 4

    Toast the Almonds

    In a separate pan, toast the sliced almonds over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes until golden brown. Stir frequently to prevent burning.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Drizzle the caramel sauce over desserts or serve as a dip, and sprinkle the toasted almonds on top for added crunch.
