Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Fondant Cakes

  • 4 Chocolate Fondant Cakes (prepared according to your preferred recipe)

Frangelico Caramel Sauce

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 8 oz butter
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 2 ½ tablespoons Frangelico liqueur

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cakes: Follow your Chocolate Fondant Cake recipe directions to bake 4 molten chocolate cakes. While the cakes are baking, begin preparing the caramel sauce.
  2. Set up Ice Bath: Fill a large bowl with ice water and set it aside for cooling the caramel.
  3. Cook Sugar Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine sugar and water. Heat over low heat, stirring gently until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture becomes a pale syrup.
  4. Caramelize Sugar: Increase the heat to medium and cook the syrup without stirring, until it turns into a light golden caramel. Be careful not to let it become dark as this will produce a bitter flavor.
  5. Cool Caramel: Immediately remove the saucepan from the heat and place it into the prepared ice water bath. This step cools the caramel gradually to prevent overcooking.
  6. Add Cream and Butter: After about 2 minutes, remove the saucepan from the ice bath. Whisk in the heavy cream, Frangelico liqueur, and butter until the sauce is smooth and fully combined.
  7. Serve: Pour the warm Frangelico caramel sauce over the freshly baked chocolate fondant cakes and serve immediately for a decadent dessert experience.

Notes

  • Ensure the caramel does not darken too much to avoid a bitter taste.
  • The ice bath prevents the caramel from cooking further and helps achieve a smooth sauce.
  • Warm sauce is ideal for drizzling over the cakes; reheat gently if necessary before serving.
  • Use good-quality chocolate fondant cakes for the best texture and flavor contrast with the sauce.
