A base sauce for your desserts

A caramel sauce with Tim Tam Tum to serve with ice cream, pears or pancakes, with a spiced edge.

Ingredients

Makes8 servings8 servings
  • 120 gCaster sugar
  • 40 mlWater
  • 120 mlDouble cream, warm
  • 25 gButter
  • 45 mlTim Tam Tum

Method

  1. Put the sugar and water in a small heavy-based pan and heat over a medium heat, without stirring, to an amber caramel.
  2. Take off the heat and add the warm cream a little at a time: it will bubble up fiercely.
  3. Stir carefully until smooth, then add the butter and salt.
  4. Leave to cool for 5 minutes, then stir in the Tim Tam Tum and, if you like, the cinnamon.
  5. Keep in a clean jar in the fridge and serve in small amounts.

Why it works
Caramel reinforces the warmth of the liqueur, while salt and cream temper the sweetness.
Tip
Take care: hot caramel burns badly. Add the cream gradually. The liqueur goes in last and keeps its alcohol.
To serve
In a small jug, fluid and glossy.
Meet the liqueur

This recipe contains alcohol. Cooking does not remove it completely, so a dish made with liqueur should never be presented as alcohol-free.
