| PREP TIME: 5 MIN | COOK TIME: 15-17 MIN | TOTAL TIME: 22 MIN |
All I have to say about this caramel sauce is Yum!
I am big on caramel. I have tons of recipes that use it. It is one of those things that just makes everything better!
Follow these steps and you too will have the perfect caramel sauce!
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 Cups Sugar
- 1/3 Cup Water
- 5 Tbsp Butter
- 1/2 Cup Heavy Cream
- 1/2 Tsp Vanilla
Instructions
- In a sauce pan heat the sugar and water until completely dissolved. The goal is to get the sugar syrup to an amber color. This process takes about 10-15 mins. It takes a lot of patience to wait but you got this!
- When we’ve reached that amber color give it a little stir so that it can be even around.
- Once the syrup is dissolved and amber, remove from the heat immediately and stir in the butter. The mixture will be bubbly and it looks like it doesn’t make sense but just give it a moment.
- Next, pour in the heavy cream and vanilla. Stir until everything is combined.
- Pour into a glass container and allow to cool completely before using.
Tips
- During the process where we are dissolving the water and sugar it is really important to stay and watch the mixture closely. It can go from amber to burnt in a matter of seconds.
- High quality is butter is very important for great results for this caramel sauce.
- You’ll see all the many ways I use this caramel sauce on upcoming recipes. But enjoy and get creative!
