Indulge in a luxurious brown sugar caramel sauce elevated with a bold espresso ribbon and a touch of flaky sea salt. This versatile sauce is perfect for drizzling, swirling, or dipping, adding a sophisticated sweetness to any dessert.
Ingredients
- 200 g (1 cup) Brown Sugar, Packed: Provides a rich, molasses-like flavor.
- 60 ml (¼ cup) Water: Dissolves sugar and creates a syrup base.
- 80 g (⅓ cup) Unsalted Butter, Cut into Pieces: Adds richness and smoothness.
- 120 ml (½ cup) Heavy Cream (or Full-Fat Coconut Cream): Creates a silky-smooth texture.
- 1 tsp (5 ml) Alcohol-Free Vanilla Extract: Enhances the overall flavor.
- ½ tsp (2 g) Flaky Sea Salt, Plus Extra for Garnish: Balances sweetness and adds texture.
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) Strong Brewed Espresso, Cooled: Creates a flavorful ribbon.
- 1 tbsp (15 g) Dark Chocolate Shavings: Adds a touch of bitterness and visual appeal.
Instructions
- Combine Sugar and Water: Dissolve brown sugar in water in a saucepan.
- Cook to Amber Color: Heat mixture to a deep amber color without stirring.
- Incorporate the Butter: Whisk in butter until smooth and glossy.
- Add the Heavy Cream: Slowly pour in cream while whisking until smooth and thickened.
- Flavor and Season: Stir in vanilla extract and flaky sea salt.
- Cool and Prepare: Cool sauce and prepare cooled espresso for drizzling.
- Serve and Swirl: Drizzle espresso over caramel and gently swirl.
