For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of bourbon or rum to the caramel sauce. If you don't have pecans, walnuts or almonds make a great substitute. The soaking time is crucial for achieving the right texture. Don't skimp on it! Serve with fresh berries and whipped cream for an elegant presentation.
