Rum Caramel Sauce image

This sauce is for Emeril Lagasse's recipe for Grilled Banana Splits.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 6

3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup hot water
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon heavy cream
2 tablespoons dark rum
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons cold unsalted butter

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.

Yield Makes 4 to 6 (dessert) servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

For sauce:
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup dark rum
1/2 teaspoon cider vinegar
1/4 cup heavy cream
For beignets:
About 8 cups vegetable oil, divided
2 Golden Delicious apples
1 3/4 cups self-rising cake flour, divided
1 large egg
3/4 cup sparkling apple cider
Confectioners sugar for dusting
Equipment:
a deep-fat thermometer; a 1-inch round cookie cutter or a melon-ball cutter

Steps:

  • Make sauce:
  • Heat sugar in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring with a fork to heat sugar evenly, until it starts to melt, then stop stirring and cook, swirling skillet occasionally so sugar melts evenly, until it is dark amber. Stir in butter, water, rum, vinegar, and a pinch of salt (caramel will harden and steam vigorously) and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until caramel has dissolved. Add cream and bring to a boil, stirring, then remove from heat. Cool to warm.
  • Make beignets:
  • Preheat oven to 250°F with rack in middle. Set a cooling rack in a large shallow baking pan.
  • Heat 2 inches oil in a 5- to 6-quart heavy pot over medium-high heat to 375°F.
  • Meanwhile, peel apples and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Cut out core with cutter, then pat apple rings dry.
  • Put 1 1/4 cups flour in a large shallow bowl and make a well in center. Beat egg in a small bowl with a fork, then stir in cider and 1 tablespoon oil and pour into well. Stir with fork until a lumpy batter forms.
  • Working in batches of 3 or 4, dredge apple rings in remaining 1/2 cup flour, shaking off excess, then dip in batter to coat, letting excess drip off, and fry, gently turning over once with a slotted spoon, until golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes total per batch. Transfer to rack and keep warm in oven. Return oil to 375°F between batches.
  • Just before serving, dust warm beignets with confectioners sugar. Stir sauce, then serve on the side.

Yield Makes ten 4 1/2-inch cheesecakes

Number Of Ingredients 20

Crust
5 1/2 cups finely ground gingersnap cookies (about 1 3/4 pounds)
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
Filling
1/2 cup dark rum
4 8-ounce packages cream cheese, room temperature
1 1 /2 cups sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/3 cup whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping
2 1/2 cups sour cream
7 tablespoons sugar
1 3/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
Rum-Caramel Sauce

Steps:

  • For crust:
  • Blend ground cookies and both sugars in processor. Add butter and process to blend. Divide cookie mixture among ten 4 1/2-inch-diameter springform pans with 1 1/2-inch-high sides (about 1/2 cup packed per pan). Press crust onto bottoms and up sides of pans.
  • For filling:
  • Position racks in top and bottom thirds of oven; preheat to 325°F. Boil rum in small saucepan until reduced to 1/4 cup, about 1 minute. Cool.
  • Using electric mixer, beat cream cheese in large bowl on low speed until smooth. Gradually beat in sugar. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating on low speed just to blend after each addition, occasionally scraping sides of bowl. Beat in spices, then cream, vanilla, and cooled rum just to blend. Divide filling among prepared crusts (about 1 cup per pan).
  • Place cheesecakes on 2 rimmed baking sheets. Bake until tops appear set, puffed, and golden at edges but still move slightly in center when shaken, reversing sheets after 20 minutes, about 40 minutes total. Cool 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare topping:
  • Whisk sour cream, sugar, and vanilla in large bowl. Divide topping among hot cheesecakes, about 1/4 cup each, spreading to meet edges of crusts. Bake 10 minutes. Run knife around each cake to loosen crust from pan. Place hot cheesecakes directly in refrigerator.
  • Chill uncovered overnight. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover; keep chilled.) Serve with Rum-Caramel Sauce.
