This chocolate and caramel spread is a true indulgence for lovers of rich, sweet flavors. It combines the intensity of chocolate with the sweetness of caramel for a creamy and irresistible texture. Perfect for topping ice cream, creating swirls, or incorporating into an ice cream base before churning with the Ninja Creami, this recipe will quickly become a staple in your kitchen!
Ingredients :
- 150g of dark chocolate (or milk chocolate, depending on your preference)
- 150 g of sugar
- 100 ml of full liquid cream
- 100g of butter
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 pinch of salt
Preparation :
- Prepare the caramel.
In a saucepan, heat the sugar over medium heat without stirring until it melts and turns a beautiful golden color. Once the caramel is ready, remove the saucepan from the heat. - Add the cream.
Gently heat the heavy cream (to avoid splashing) and then gradually add it to the caramel, stirring constantly. The mixture will foam; this is normal. Return the pan to low heat and stir until smooth. - Remove from heat and stir in the butter and chocolate
. Add the butter, cut into pieces, and the chopped chocolate. Stir until completely melted and incorporated into the caramel. Add a pinch of salt and vanilla extract if you wish to enhance the flavors. - Let it cool.
Allow the spread to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. The texture will thicken slightly as it cools, but it will still remain nice and creamy. - Store the spread.
This spread will keep in the refrigerator for about two weeks. You can warm it slightly to make it more fluid before using.
My Personal Tip:
This chocolate and caramel spread is perfect for swirling vanilla or coffee ice cream with Ninja Creami. You can also use it to top yogurt or coconut ice cream, or simply as a decadent topping on a sundae. And for an even more indulgent dessert, try mixing it into chocolate ice cream before churning for an explosion of flavor! It's also delicious on pancakes, waffles, or simply by the spoonful.
