Salted caramel is such an amazing way to enjoy any dessert. It's rich, indulgent, and buttery, but also slightly salty thanks to the sprinkling of salt, preferably sea salt flakes. Here are the five most delicious dessert recipes that use salted caramel that you definitely need to try:

Salted Caramel Ice Cream

Ingredients:

• 650 ml heavy cream
• 300 g sugar
• 120ml water
• 30 g unsalted butter
• 1 tsp sea salt flakes
• 360 ml whole milk
• ½ tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Heat about 325 ml of heavy cream in a saucepan until it comes to a gentle simmer. Do not boil. Remove from heat.
2. In another saucepan, bring the water and sugar to a boil and keep cooking until the mixture turns amber and you get a caramel sauce.
3. Remove from heat and immediately add about ⅓ of the still warm cream into this. Add the unsalted butter and mix until you get a thick sauce. Finally, add the salt.
4. Transfer the caramel sauce into a container and let it come to room temperature.
5. Whisk all of the heavy cream, milk and ½ of the salted caramel in an ice cream maker.

Homemade Salted Caramel Toffee

Ingredients:

• 200 gm granulated sugar
• 60 ml light corn syrup
• 100 gm unsalted butter
• 120 ml heavy cream
• 1 tsp sea salt flakes and a sprinkle for garnish

Instructions:

1. In a heavy bottomed saucepan, caramelise the sugar and corn syrup until it reaches an amber colour. Do not stir because the sugar will seize.
2. Once the caramel is done, take it off heat, add the unsalted butter and let it swirl and melt. At this point you can mix to create an emulsion.
3. Slowly stir in the heavy cream and let it simmer on low heat for a bit. It will thicken slightly and you will get a soft caramel.
4. Take it off heat once again and add the salt.
5. Pour this mixture into silicone moulds, garnish with sea salt, and let it sit in the fridge overnight.
6. Unmould the next day and enjoy these tiny treats.

• 200 gm Cadbury Bournville Rich Cocoa 70% Dark Chocolate
• 200 gm caster sugar
