This is a great sauce for ice cream topping, or for a fruit fondue. Can also be used for topping cakes, as it thickens when it cools. Serve warm over ice cream, or place in fondue pot over low heat to keep warm and dip apples, pears, pineapple, strawberries, bananas, and orange wedges.

Time 1h20m

Yield 32

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups butter
2 cups white sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup finely chopped almonds

Steps:

  • In a large heavy bottomed saucepan, combine the butter, sugar and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring until the butter is melted. Allow to come to a boil, and cook until the mixture becomes a dark amber color, and the temperature has reached 285 degrees F (137 degrees C). Stir occasionally.
  • While the toffee is cooking, cover a large baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
  • As soon as the toffee reaches the proper temperature, pour it out onto the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the chocolate over the top, and let it set for a minute or two to soften. Spread the chocolate into a thin even layer once it is melted. Sprinkle the nuts over the chocolate, and press in slightly. Putting a plastic bag over your hand will minimize the mess.
  • Place the toffee in the refrigerator to chill until set. Break into pieces, and store in an airtight container.

8 ounces bittersweet chocolate
4 whole eggs
4 egg yolks
3 ounces sugar
2 1/4 tablespoons flour
Butter, for pan
Flour, for pan

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. On the top half of a double boiler over medium heat, melt the butter and chocolate together, whisking to blend. When the chocolate and butter are fully melted, remove the chocolate from the stove.

  • Warm the half and half and Armagnac in a saucepan over medium heat until it comes to a boil, then remove the saucepan from the stove. While the half and half is heating, whisk the sugar and egg yolks in a bowl until pale lemon in color. Add the sugar/egg yolk mixture to the half and half and return to the stove over very low heat. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon until the foam on the top disappears and the mixture is thicker and coats the back of the spoon. Remove from the stove immediately and stop the cooking by placing the saucepan in a bowl of ice, stirring the mixture to cool it. Freeze in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions.

TOFFEE DESSERT SAUCE

Use this recipe when making Individual Sticky Toffee Puddings.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 1/2 cups heavy cream
2 cups sugar
1/3 cup corn syrup
1/2 cup (1 stick) plus 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, combine 1 1/4 cups cream, sugar, corn syrup, and butter. Place over medium heat, and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramel colored, about 15 minutes.
  • Remove from heat, let stand until cool, about 30 minutes. Place over low heat, and stir in remaining cream until smooth.

Tips:

  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan: This will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the sauce from burning.
  • Be patient: It takes time for the sauce to thicken, so don't rush the process. Stir the sauce continuously to prevent it from scorching.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of the ingredients, the better the sauce will taste. Use fresh cream, butter, and brown sugar, and a good quality Armagnac.
  • Don't overcook the sauce: The sauce should be thick and syrupy, but it shouldn't be hard or brittle. Remove the sauce from the heat as soon as it reaches the desired consistency.
  • Serve the sauce warm: Armagnac toffee sauce is best served warm, over ice cream, pancakes, or waffles.

Conclusion:

Armagnac toffee sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used to enhance a variety of desserts. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious sauce that will impress your friends and family.
