Looking for a dessert fondue that’s different from chocolate? Salted Caramel Fondue delights with its perfect balance of sweetness and a hint of salt, creating an indulgent experience that feels both comforting and refreshingly different. Smooth and velvety, it pairs beautifully with summer fruits: strawberries, peaches, or even a little grilled pineapple for an extra twist!
Ingredients
For the Fondue
60 ml (1/4 cup) water
250 ml (1 cup) sugar
30 ml (2 tbsp) cornstarch
1 can (300 ml) sweetened condensed milk
5 ml (1 tsp) vanilla extract
500 ml (2 cups) 35% whipping cream
5 ml (1 tsp) flaky sea salt
For Dipping
Angel food cake cubes
Fresh fruit
Doughnut holes
Madeleines
Butter cookies
Pretzels
Hazelnut chocolates (such as Ferrero Rocher)
Preparation
In a saucepan, combine the water and sugar. Heat over medium-low heat for 4–5 minutes, without stirring, until an amber caramel forms.
Meanwhile, whisk together the cornstarch, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and cream in a bowl.
Gradually add the condensed milk mixture to the saucepan, stirring with a wooden spoon.
Bring to a boil, whisking constantly until smooth and slightly thickened.
Transfer the fondue to the ceramic insert of the fondue pot and set the heat to the lowest setting.
