CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until thickened to desired consistency.

CARAMEL SAUCE FOR JIMMY FALLON'S LATE NIGHT SNACK ICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, mix together sugar, corn syrup, and 1/4 cup water until sugar is moistened. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil, brushing down sides of pan with a pastry brush that has been dipped in water, until deep amber in color.
• Gently swirl saucepan to ensure sugar mixture is well combined. Remove from heat and carefully add heavy cream; mixture will bubble. Stir in creme fraiche and salt. Transfer sauce to a glass container and let cool at room temperature until thickened, 1 to 2 hours.

DESSERTLOVER'S CLASSIC CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring the water, sugar, and butter to a simmer in a saucepan over medium heat. Do not stir the mixture until the sugar has completely dissolved in the water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the caramel has turned golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Carefully pour in a slow, steady stream of cream into the caramel while stirring constantly. The hot caramel will boil vigorously when the cream is added and solidify in areas. Add the vanilla extract and salt. Continue stirring over low heat until the caramel is smooth and creamy, 5 to 10 minutes more. Allow to cool for at least half an hour before using.

HOT FUDGE SAUCE FOR JIMMY FALLON'S LATE NIGHT SNACK ICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Place heavy cream and corn syrup in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate; whisk until melted and well combined. Stir in vanilla and salt. Transfer fudge sauce to a glass container and let cool at room temperature until thickened, about 1 hour.

RUM CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the sugar and hot water in a heavy saucepan, and cook over high heat until the sugar has dissolved, about 1 minute. Continue to cook, swirling the pan occasionally but never stirring the sugar mixture, until the mixture thickens and turns a deep amber color, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and immediately add the heavy cream (be careful -- the mixture will splatter). Return the pan to the heat and reduce the heat to medium. Cook until the sauce is thick and creamy, stirring occasionally to help incorporate the cream, about 5 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the rum, vanilla, and butter. Serve warm.
