This amazing salted caramel sauce has become my ultimate warm ice cream topping. It's easy to make with sugar, butter, cream, and a pinch of sea salt.
Ingredients
- 1 cup white sugar
- 5 tablespoons butter , cut into slices
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 1 pinch sea salt , or to taste
Instructions
-
1
Place sugar in a heavy-bottomed saucepan set over medium-high heat, stirring continuously until sugar begins to melt. Continue stirring until sugar completely melts, begins to darken, and all chunks are dissolved, about 10 minutes. Stop stirring; continue cooking until sugar begins to smoke and turns a dark shade of amber, 3 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat and wait 30 seconds.

Whisk in butter until melted and combined. Slowly pour in ½ cup plus 1 tablespoon cream, taking care because it can bubble over. Sprinkle in salt; stir to combine. Transfer sauce to a jar; cool completely before refrigerating.

Chef John's Asparagus Souffle
Contrary to popular belief, souffles are not very difficult, as long as you respect the laws of physics. I hope you give this recipe a try, and also experiment with other vegetables. Broccoli, artichokes, leeks, spinach, or any other edible plant you can puree should work with the same basic procedure.
