Creamy Coffee Caramel Sauce Recipes

CREAMY CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the sugar and 1/3 cup water in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan. This is the only time you can stir the sugar. If you stir it while it's cooking, it turns to rock candy. Place the saucepan over medium to low heat until the sugars start to dissolve, 5 to 10 minutes. Then turn the heat up to medium-high and cook until the sugar starts to caramelize, 5 to 7 minutes. Do not stir while this is happening. You've got to watch the pot, because it goes from caramel to burnt really quickly. And be careful, the mixture is extremely hot!
• Turn off the heat and stand back to avoid splattering. Slowly add the cream. Don't panic - the cream will bubble violently, and the caramel will solidify. Just give it more time to liquefy again-trust me!
• Simmer over low heat, stirring constantly, until the caramel dissolves and the sauce is smooth, about 2 minutes. Allow the sauce to cool to room temperature, at least 4 hours. It will thicken as it sits.

COFFEE-CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Cook ingredients in saucepan on low heat 5 min. or until heated through, stirring frequently.

COFFEE-CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring 1 cup water to simmer in small saucepan; stir in 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder. Remove from heat. Set espresso mixture aside.
• Combine sugar and remaining 1/4 cup water in medium saucepan. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium-high and boil without stirring until caramel is deep amber color, occasionally swirling pan and brushing down sides with wet pastry brush, about 10 minutes.
• Stir espresso mixture into saucepan with caramel (mixture will bubble vigorously). Stir until caramel bits dissolve, about 2 minutes. Stir in butter. Cool slightly. Stir in cream. Serve warm. (Can be made 1 week ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm over low heat just until warm and pourable, stirring frequently.)

CREAMY CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Follow recipe for basic caramel, reducing sugar to 1 cup (do not reduce water). Remove caramel from heat, and carefully pour in heavy cream (caramel will bubble). With a clean wooden spoon, stir in vanilla extract and salt; stir until smooth. Pour or spoon over dessert. If not serving the sauce immediately, let cool; refrigerate in an airtight container up to 3 weeks. Reheat in a saucepan or in the microwave, stirring in 1 tablespoon heavy cream.

OH-SO-EASY CARAMEL SAUCE

• Bring brown sugar, butter, and milk to a gentle boil and cook until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat; add vanilla extract.

COFFEE-CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Stir 2 tablespoons water and 4 teaspoons coffee powder in small bowl until coffee powder dissolves. Stir remaining 6 tablespoons water and 1 1/3 cups sugar in heavy medium saucepan over low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and boil without stirring until syrup turns deep amber, occasionally brushing down sides of pan with pastry brush dipped into water and swirling pan, about 8 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat. Add whipping cream, butter and coffee mixture (mixture will bubble vigorously). Return to heat and bring to boil, whisking constantly until smooth. Whisk in salt. Divide sauce between two 8-ounce canning jars; seal jars tightly with lids. (Sauce can be prepared 2 weeks ahead; refrigerate. Rewarm over medium-low heat, stirring constantly.)

Steps:

• Place all ingredients into blender and blend on high until the ice is completely smooth.
