Ingredients
Salted Caramel Sauce
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 teaspoon (2g) kosher salt
Affogato
- 8 scoops vanilla ice cream
- 4 shots brewed espresso
- Flaky sea salt and coffee beans for garnish
Instructions
Salted Caramel Sauce
- Place sugar in a medium heavy-bottom saucepan over medium heat and allow to melt, stirring occasionally to distribute the sugar crystals. Once sugar is melted, stir in butter until melted.
- Slowly add cream (carefully, it will splatter) stirring constantly and allow caramel to cook until it reaches 235F on a candy thermometer. Remove caramel from heat and mix in salt. Set aside.
Affogato
- When ready to serve, reheat caramel sauce over low heat (or reheat 10-20 seconds in microwave). Divide 2 scoops ice cream between 4 serving glasses. Pour espresso shots over ice cream and top with a few drizzles of warm caramel sauce.
- Top affogato with flaky sea salt and coffee beans and serve immediately. Enjoy!
Notes
Storing Instructions
