Hey everyone! I just wanted to share this super easy and delicious caramel sauce recipe that Iāve been using for a while. Itās perfect for drizzling over ice cream, cakes, or even just eating by the spoonful (no judgment, right? ). Hope you give it a try!
Ingredients:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter (cut into pieces)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt (optional, for salted caramel lovers!)
- In a medium saucepan, heat the sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly with a heatproof spatula. Itāll start to melt and turn into a deep amber color (be patient, this takes a few minutes!).
- Once the sugar is fully melted, carefully add the butter (it will bubble up, so be cautious!). Keep stirring until the butter is fully incorporated.
- Slowly pour in the heavy cream, still stirring constantly. The mixture will bubble up again, but keep stirring until smooth.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt (if using).
- Let the caramel sauce cool for about 10-15 minutes before using or storing it in a jar.
