Ingredients Needed
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Assorted dippables (fruits, cookies, marshmallows)
Step-by-Step Preparation
Start by heating the sugar in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until the sugar melts and turns a golden amber color. Be careful not to burn it.
Once the sugar is melted, add the butter carefully. Continue stirring until the butter is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring. The mixture will bubble vigorously; keep stirring until it settles down. Remove from heat.
Stir in the sea salt and vanilla extract. Mix well to combine. Allow the caramel to cool slightly before transferring it to a fondue pot.
Serving Tips
Pour the warm salted caramel into a fondue pot set to low heat to keep it melted and smooth. Arrange your favorite dippables around the pot for easy access.
For added flavor, sprinkle a little extra sea salt on top before serving. Encourage guests to dip fruits like apple slices, strawberries, or banana chunks, as well as cookies and marshmallows.
