Ingredients
Scale
- For the Dome:
- 1 large vanilla ice cream dome
- 100g popcorn
- 100g dark chocolate, broken into chunks
- 150 ml caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- For the Caramel Sauce:
- 200g granulated sugar
- 90g unsalted butter
- 120 ml heavy cream
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Caramel Sauce:
- In a saucepan, heat the sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Sugar will form clumps and eventually melt into a thick, amber-colored liquid.
- Once the sugar is completely melted, carefully add the butter. Be cautious, as the caramel will bubble rapidly.
- Slowly drizzle in the heavy cream while stirring. The mixture will bubble again. Allow it to boil for 1 minute.
- Remove from heat, add salt, and let cool before using.
- Assemble the Dome:
- Place the vanilla ice cream dome on a serving plate.
- Pour a generous amount of caramel sauce over the dome, allowing it to drip down the sides.
- Stick popcorn around the dome, pressing gently to adhere.
- Sprinkle dark chocolate chunks over the popcorn layer.
- Serve:
- Allow the dome to sit for a few minutes before serving to slightly soften the ice cream. Provide extra caramel sauce on the side for drizzling.
Notes
- Make sure to monitor the caramel closely to avoid burning.
- You can customize the toppings by adding nuts or different types of chocolate.
