Caramel And Scotch Sauce Recipes

OH-SO-EASY CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring brown sugar, butter, and milk to a gentle boil and cook until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat; add vanilla extract.

DESSERTLOVER'S CLASSIC CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring the water, sugar, and butter to a simmer in a saucepan over medium heat. Do not stir the mixture until the sugar has completely dissolved in the water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the caramel has turned golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Carefully pour in a slow, steady stream of cream into the caramel while stirring constantly. The hot caramel will boil vigorously when the cream is added and solidify in areas. Add the vanilla extract and salt. Continue stirring over low heat until the caramel is smooth and creamy, 5 to 10 minutes more. Allow to cool for at least half an hour before using.

CARAMEL AND SCOTCH SAUCE

Steps:

• Cook sugar in a dry 2-quart heavy saucepan over moderately low heat, stirring slowly with a fork until sugar is melted and pale golden. Cook caramel, without stirring, until deep golden, then remove pan from heat.
• Carefully add boiling water and Scotch (mixture will bubble up and vigorously steam), then cook over low heat, stirring with a wooden spoon, until caramel is melted and sauce is smooth. Serve warm.

CARAMEL & WHISKY SAUCE

Steps:

• Put the butter, sugar, condensed milk, caramel and ginger in a pan. Heat gently until the butter melts - make sure you don't boil the sauce. Remove from the heat, then stir in the whisky until smooth. Pour into sterilised jars and allow to cool before sealing.

DOUBLE SCOTCH CARAMEL AFFOGATO

Steps:

• Swirl Scotch, sugar and salt in a medium heavy saucepan to combine. Heat on medium-high for 30 seconds, you should start to smell the alcohol vapor; using a stick lighter or long match, ignite the alcohol. Continue cooking, flames will be small at first and grow as the mixture heats but will die out completely after about 2 minutes.
• Boil sugar mixture, swirling occasionally (do not stir or crystals may form and result in a grainy caramel), until the edges start to turn golden, about 7-9 minutes. Keep swirling to mix the lighter and darker colors until the caramel is amber, another 2-3 minutes. Watch closely because the caramel can darken and burn quickly.
• As soon as it reaches amber, remove from heat, add butter and continue to swirl to melt the butter and to stop the caramel from getting any darker; butter will make the caramel bubble vigorously so be careful. When the butter is completely melted, swirl in heavy cream. Stir (it's ok to stir at this point) until cream is completely incorporated and caramel is smooth and no streaks of cream remain. Let cool, caramel will thicken as it sits.
• Divide ice cream among 12 highball glasses or bowls. Pour 1/2 shot of espresso over each and top with a drizzle of caramel.
• Do ahead: Caramel can be made 1 month ahead, store in an airtight container and chill. Reheat gently before using.
