Nigella Lawson’s fast and easy salted caramel sauce

10 Apr

This recipe is The Bomb. It is quick, requires a handful of ingredients, will rock your world and impress everyone who is lucky enough to sample even a drop of it. This sauce requires real, lux salt, not the nasty table salt that you can buy in massive pantry packs. Nigella has shown us again why she is the queen of all things decadent and divine with this recipe. Serve this with vanilla ice cream for a show stopper dessert. Add the salt in increments & taste as you go.

With thanks to Anna Warr [http://www.facebook.com/AnnaWarrPhotography] for her delish snaps.

GATHER:

50g brown sugar

50g caster sugar

50mL golden syrup

125mL double cream

75g  unsalted butter, cubed

half to one-and-a-half teaspoons best quality salt [I use pink Murray River salt]

LET’S GET TO IT:

Melt butter, sugars and syrup in a small heavy pan and simmer for two to three minutes. Swirl, don’t stir, occasionally.

Slowly pour in cream and half a teaspoon of the salt and stir before tasting. Add a little more salt at a time if you desire.

Pour into serving jug and watch your guests drool.

    I will definitely be making this – looks amazing! Just need to buy good salt… Nigella’s recipes are always delicious

      I agree, that woman knows her way around the kitchen! Good salt should be available in supermarkets. Failing that perhaps a friend could give you some of her stash?

    Love the recipes. Any chance in the future we could see some wheat-free (almond meal!?) or protein-rich after dinner treats? Thanks!

      Hmmm, will put my thinking cap on for protein rich desserts & almond-meal based sweet treats. Thanks for stopping by!
