A diet breaker for sure! Serve with high quality vanilla or coffee ice cream. This topping is a real gourmet treat that is pourable right from the fridge. Created for RSC #10. Ingredients:
1/4 cup maple syrup |
1/3 cup brown sugar |
1/2 cup water |
3 tablespoons butter |
2 tablespoons kahlua |
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, not whipped |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla |
1/3 cup pecans |
Directions:
1. First, fill a glass with ice water and place close to stove.
2. Combine syrup, brown sugar, water, butter and Kahlua in a medium sauce pan and bring to a boil over medium high heat, stirring occasionally.
3. Turn down heat to medium and stir constantly for 6-7 minutes while mixture boils and until it begins to get thick.
4. Place a drop or two of the mixture into the cup of ice water and then pick it up with your fingers. It should be able to be shaped into a soft ball.
5. Remove from heat.
6. Cool slightly, about 5 minutes, and then whisk in the whip cream, vanilla, and pecans until they are well blended. For a thicker sauce use slightly less whipping cream.
7. Pour into a container, a glass jar is best, and refrigerate until serving, preferably overnight.
8. For a more boozy version, add Kahlua with the whip cream, vanilla, and pecans.
