A rich and buttery salted caramel sauce with a perfect balance of sweetness and salt. Ideal for drizzling over desserts or stirring into drinks.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons water
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Pour the water into a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan and place over medium heat. Add the sugar and watch closely as it dissolves and begins to darken, about 5–10 minutes.
  2. As soon as the sugar reaches a golden to medium-brown color, remove it from the heat. Avoid letting it get too dark to prevent bitterness.
  3. Immediately whisk in the heavy cream. The mixture may seize, but continue stirring until it becomes smooth.
  4. Stir in the butter, salt, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated and smooth. Serve warm or store in a jar in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Use a heavy-bottomed pan to ensure even heat distribution.
  • Be cautious when adding cream as the mixture will bubble vigorously.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • Reheat gently before serving if the sauce thickens.
