Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients
- 120 ml – ½ cup orange juice – freshly squeezed
- 300 gms – 1 ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp light corn syrup OR glucose syrup
- 30 gms – 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 120 ml – ½ cup heavy cream
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¾ tsp orange zest
Instructions
-
In a pot over medium heat, stir together the orange juice, granulated sugar, and light corn syrup or glucose syrup. Swirl the pan as the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to simmer. Keep swirling the pan without stirring. The mixture will turn a deep golden colour and develop a toasty aroma.
-
Remove the pot from the heat and quickly add the butter and cream. The mixture will seize slightly, but keep stirring until smooth and fully combined.
-
Stir in the vanilla extract, orange zest, and salt until incorporated.
-
Drizzle the warm orange caramel sauce over vanilla ice cream.
Recipe Notes
If you’re using glucose syrup instead of light corn syrup, add 1 tablespoon more orange juice and increase the heavy cream by 30 ml – 2 tablespoons to keep the sauce smooth.
