Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup caramel sauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients and measure them precisely before beginning. Ensure your workspace is clean and organized.
- Place white chocolate chips in a medium-sized heat-safe glass or ceramic bowl. The bowl should be large enough to allow for stirring without spilling.
- In a small saucepan, heat heavy cream over medium-low heat until it just begins to simmer. Watch carefully to prevent boiling or scorching.
- Slowly pour the hot cream over the white chocolate chips, allowing the heat to gradually melt the chocolate. Let sit for 1-2 minutes without stirring.
- Using a whisk, gently stir the mixture in smooth, circular motions until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture becomes smooth and glossy.
- Add caramel sauce and vanilla extract to the mixture. Whisk continuously until fully incorporated and the sauce is uniform in color and texture.
- If the sauce seems too thick, add a tablespoon of warm cream to thin it out. If too thin, let it cool slightly to thicken.
- Transfer the sauce to a clean glass jar or serving container. Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
- Serve warm over desserts like ice cream, cake, or use as a dipping sauce. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
