By

After reading the recipe, I believe this can be made using Dulce de Leche in place of the caramel sauce, which seemingly requires a lot of work!

Ingredients

  • Toppings:
  • For the caramel
  • 1 cup granulated white sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup salted butter
  • 2/3 cup heavy cream
  • For the chocolate
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup bittersweet chocolate chips, such as Ghirardelli
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce
  • Sweetened whipped cream or vanilla marshmallows, grated chocolate,
  • Maldon sea salt

Preparation

Step 1



MAKE caramel sauce: Gather sugar, water, butter and heavy cream. Place sugar and water in a heavy-bottomed 3-quart saucepan over moderately high heat. Whisk constantly to dissolve sugar. Once mixture reaches a boil, stop whisking and allow mixture to boil until it starts to darken, carefully swirling pan occasionally. Once mixture reaches a dark amber color, add butter, stir until butter is melted, and remove from heat. Wait three seconds, add heavy cream. Stir until mixture is smooth. Allow caramel to cool several minutes then pour into a glass jar to cool. Set aside.

HEAT milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once milk is warm, stir in chocolate chips and 1/2 cup caramel sauce. Continue to cook, stirring constantly until chocolate has melted. Allow to cool slightly.

SERVE warm topped with whipped cream or marshmallows, grated chocolate and a sprinkling of sea salt.

Yield: 3-4 cups.
