Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons water
1 cup heavy cream
2 or 3 different flavored pints ice cream

Steps:

  • Some or all of the topping suggestions: chopped up Heath bar, toasted hazelnuts, chocolate chips, fresh coconut wedges, fresh raspberries, mini bananas, mint, fresh raspberries, penny candy, etc.
  • In a saucepan over medium-high heat, add water and sugar. Stir occasionally for approximately 5 minutes, or until sugar melts and turns a golden brown. (Keep a watchful eye on sugar because it will go from being golden brown to burning in about 1 minute).
  • Immediately remove from heat and whisk in cream* see Note. Stir constantly until smooth. At this point, caramel sauce will be very thin. After it cools, it will thicken to the consistency of, well...caramel sauce.
  • To serve, set out ice cream along with caramel sauce and other toppings. Let guests build their own sundaes.
