At some points it may look lumpy, but keep stirring and it will smooth out and caramelize.Cook until the white chocolate is deep-golden brown, and caramelized. Stir in a good pinch of sea salt. If it’s lumpy, scrape it into a bowl and smooth it out with an immersion blender, or in a food processor.
