Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Take the vanilla ice cream out of the freezer to soften at room temperature while you prepare the sauce.
-
Step 2.
Tip the light brown sugar into a saucepan and add 1½ tablespoons water. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook for 2–3 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally, until all the sugar has dissolved. While the sugar dissolves, roughly chop the hazelnuts.
-
Step 3.
Remove the pan from the heat and add the butter. Return the pan to low heat and melt the butter, whisking continuously. Continue whisking for another 1 minute, or until the caramel turns light brown. Add a good pinch of sea salt and whisk well. Pour in the double cream and continue whisking until velvety smooth.
-
Step 4.
Break the dark chocolate into the sauce and whisk continuously until completely melted and the sauce has thickened slightly. Carefully pour the sauce into a heatproof jug. Serve immediately with the softened vanilla ice cream and sprinkle the chopped hazelnuts over the top.
