Whisky Caramel Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Cook sugar in a dry 2-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, undisturbed, until it begins to melt.
• Continue to cook, stirring occasionally with a fork, until sugar is melted into a deep golden caramel.
• Remove from heat and carefully add Scotch, butter, and salt (caramel will steam vigorously and harden). Cook over moderately low heat, stirring, until caramel is dissolved.
• Cool sauce to warm.

Steps:

• For the whiskey caramel sauce: Combine the sugar and 1/4 cup water in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, swirling the pan but not stirring, until the mixture is dark amber, 7 to 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and whisk in the heavy cream, vanilla and salt until smooth. Whisk in the whiskey. Transfer to a bowl and cool completely (the caramel will thicken as it cools).
• For the chocolate stout cakes: Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
• Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to bubble, about 5 minutes. Add the cocoa powder and whisk until dissolved and the mixture is smooth, about 30 seconds. Remove from the heat and whisk in the stout beer. Set aside to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, spray a 12-cup muffin tin generously with nonstick canola oil spray and wipe out any oil that pools at the bottom of the cups. Dust the muffin cups with cocoa powder and tap out the excess.
• Whisk the flour, brown sugar, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
• Whisk the egg, Greek yogurt and vanilla extract in large bowl.
• Whisk half of the stout beer mixture into the egg mixture and blend until combined. Whisk in the remaining half of the stout beer mixture and blend until smooth. Add the flour mixture and blend until just combined.
• Divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin. Bake the cakes, rotating the muffin tin halfway through, until a tester or toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer the muffin tin to a wire rack and let the cakes cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes.
• Loosen the edges of each cake with an offset spatula, then carefully remove the cakes from the muffin tin. Serve the warm cakes upside-down on individual plates drizzled with the Whiskey Caramel Sauce and sprinkled with the toffee bits.

Steps:

• Put the butter, sugar, condensed milk, caramel and ginger in a pan. Heat gently until the butter melts - make sure you don't boil the sauce. Remove from the heat, then stir in the whisky until smooth. Pour into sterilised jars and allow to cool before sealing.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray.
• In food processor, place flour, oats, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, the brown sugar and salt. Cover; process until combined. Add butter. Cover; process with on-and-off pulses until mixture is consistency of coarse crumbs. Set aside.
• In large bowl, mix all filling ingredients. Pour into baking dish. Crumble topping over apple mixture. Bake 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, in 1-quart saucepan, heat 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar and the water over medium-high heat until bubbles form and mixture is simmering. DO NOT STIR. Occasionally lift saucepan from heat and gently swirl mixture while sugar is heating. In about 10 minutes, sugar will start to caramelize. Simmer until mixture is a rich, dark amber color. Reduce heat to low. Stir in whipping cream with whisk until mixture is blended and smooth.
• Remove saucepan from heat; pour sauce into heatproof jar or bowl. Stir in vanilla, 3 tablespoons whiskey and 2 tablespoons orange juice. Refrigerate until serving time (sauce will thicken as it cools).
• Serve apple crisp warm with ice cream; drizzle with caramel sauce. Garnish with thyme sprigs.
