  • ¾ cup Cass-Clay® Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 4 tablespoons of Cass-Clay Butter, cubed
  • 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt, like Maldon

  • ¼ cup Cass-Clay Heavy Whipping Cream

How To:

Caramel Topping Instructions:

  1. In a heavy saucepan, stir together sugar and ¼ cup water.
  2. 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.
  3. When the sugar is ready, turn off heat and pour in in the cream. Careful — it will bubble up and steam a lot.
  4. Stir in the butter and the salt until smooth.

 

Chocolate Topping Instructions:

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

 

Marshmallow Topping Instructions:

  1. In a saucepan over medium-low heat, add marshmallow cream and heavy cream. Whisk until melted together and well combined, 2-3 minutes.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
