Caramel-Fudge Sauce image

This has a wonderful flavor and sure beats the stuff off of the shelf! It is medium bodied and not a thick fudge sauce. From the food network. This is really good served with chef V's recipe #200585

Time 20m

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons light corn syrup or 2 tablespoons dark corn syrup
2 tablespoons water
3/4 cup heavy cream
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 ounces good quality bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped (I used 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Put the sugar, corn syrup, and water in a medium saucepan.
  • Cook over medium-high heat, brushing down the sides of the pan as needed with water, until the sugar dissolves.
  • Continue to cook, swirling the pan but not stirring, until the sugar is amber in color, about 8 minutes.
  • Pull pan from the heat and carefully add the cream and butter. Take care; it may spatter. Whisk until smooth.(You may find that some of the sugar mixture will stick to the bottom of your whisk- don't worry the sauce will still be wonderful!).
  • Stir the chocolate, vanilla, and salt into the hot caramel until smooth. Serve sauce warm.
  • Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Reheat slowly, in a microwave at 30 second intervals, stirring, until warm and saucy. Be careful not to over heat or butter can separate from the caramel sauce.
