Ingredients

Caramel Topping Ingredients

1 cup pure cane sugar

¼ cup water

¾ cup Oakhurst heavy cream

4 tablespoons butter, cubed

1 teaspoon flaky sea salt, like Maldon

 

Chocolate Topping Ingredients

6 ounces bittersweet (60%) chocolate, finely chopped

¾ cup Oakhurst heavy cream

 

Marshmallow Topping Ingredients

10 ounces marshmallow cream

¼ cup Oakhurst heavy cream

½ teaspoon vanilla

1/8 teaspoon cinnamon

small pinch of kosher salt

Preparation

Caramel Topping Instructions

In a heavy saucepan, stir together sugar and 1/4 cup water. Cook over medium heat without stirring, swirling the pan gently every so often to encourage even caramelization, until the sugar has turned a deep amber hue, 10-12 minutes. When the sugar is ready, turn off heat and pour in in the cream. Careful — it will bubble up and steam a lot. Stir in the butter and the salt until smooth.

 

Chocolate Topping Instructions

Add chopped chocolate to a heatproof bowl. In a small pot over medium-low heat, bring cream just to a simmer. Pour cream directly over chocolate and let sit for 2 minutes. Stir until smooth.

 

Marshmallow Topping Instructions

In a saucepan over medium-low heat, add marshmallow cream and heavy cream. Whisk until melted together and well combined, 2-3 minutes. Boil mixture while whisking constantly for 1-2 more minutes until mixture turns just a shade darker, making sure not to let the bottom burn. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.

 

TIP: Pour each sauce into an 8-ounce jar and let cool before tightening the lid. Use gift labels or ribbon to decorate the jars and give as holiday gifts!

TIP: Each sauce can be warmed up in the microwave in 10-second increments before drizzling over ice cream, cake, brownies, or other seasonal desserts.
