30 minutes

Caramel-orange sauce for ice cream is a refined addition to desserts inspired by French cuisine. It harmoniously intertwines the deep flavor of caramel with the refreshing citrus tang of orange juice. Butter gives the sauce a velvety texture, while a drop of brandy enriches its aroma with noble notes. This sauce pairs perfectly with vanilla ice cream, creating a rich contrast of warm and cold, sweet and tart. The preparation process resembles ancient French pastry traditions where caramel is cooked to the perfect shade and then transformed into an elegant treat. Such a sauce can become not just an addition but a true highlight of the dessert, revealing new facets of flavor.
