Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
  • 1 firmly packed cup (220g) brown sugar
  • 300ml pure (thin) cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 20g unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt flakes
  • 500ml (2 cups) good-quality vanilla ice cream, softened
  • Small handful of pecans, toasted, roughly chopped
  • Bitter Chocolate Sauce:
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 200g good-quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids), broken into pieces
Instructions
  1. For the salted caramel, place the brown sugar, cream, vanilla, butter and salt in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until sugar dissolves, then bring to a simmer. Allow to bubble, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until thick and syrupy. Chill for 30 minutes.
  2. Fold the chilled caramel into the softened ice cream. Place in a plastic container, then cover and freeze overnight until firm.
  3. For the chocolate sauce, place sugar in a saucepan with 150ml water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to low, then gradually add the dark chocolate, a few pieces at a time, whisking constantly until the sauce is smooth and thick.
  4. Serve scoops of ice cream in glasses or bowls, drizzled with chocolate sauce and topped with pecans.
