A homemade butterscotch sauce is the star of this smooth dip which can be served room temperature or heated in a fondue pot. It's great with fruits and cakes. Ingredients:
6t butter |
1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar |
3/4-1 cup heavy cream |
1t fresh lemon juice |
2t vanilla extract |
dash of salt(omit if using salted butter) |
8oz mascarpone or cream cheese, softened. |
Directions:
1. Melt butter in small, heavy saucepan over medium heat.
2. Add sugar and immediately stir to coat all grains with butter. See Photo
3. Let simmer over the low heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture loses it's grainy texture, and becomes more like a thick liquid See Photo. This should only take about 5 minutes.
4. Add cream(more for a thinner sauce, less for thicker, to taste) and carefully whisk through.
5. Continue to simmer for about 10 minutes or so, whisking often.
6. Turn off heat and cool slightly.
7. Whisk in lemon juice and vanilla and combine well.
8. Set aside to cool to about room temperature or so. A lil warm is okay. See Photo
9. If using mascarpone, you will want your butterscotch cooled and you'll want to fold it in by hand and serve immediately.
10. If you use cream cheese, you can do it a bit warmer, and use an electric mixer. Mix well and transfer to serving dish or fondue pot.
11. Serve with various fruits, cakes or cookies to dip!
