CARAMEL SAUCE

CARAMEL

Caramel is a medium to dark-orange confectionery product made by heating a variety of sugars. It can be used as a flavoring in puddings and desserts, as a filling in bonbons, or as a topping for ice cream and custard. Rich and delicious, this easy caramel sauce is perfect for all sorts of recipes!

Ingredients:

1 cup sugar

3 tbsp salted butter, cubed, room temperature

1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, room temperature

Pinch of salt

Recipe:

1. In a pan, pour sugar into an even layer.
2. Heat on medium-high heat, whisking the sugar until melted. This will take about 10 minutes.
3. Once the sugar has melted, stop whisking. You may notice a nutty aroma.
4. The change in color will happen quickly, so don’t let it go too long or get too dark or it’ll burn. Turn the caramel to low heat.
5. Add butter and whisk until combined. The mixture will bubble up, but keep whisking until all the butter has melted and combined.
6. Slowly pour the heavy cream into the caramel and whisk until incorporated. 
7. Cool for about 10-15 minutes before using. Store leftovers in a jar with a lid. You can easily refrigerate it up to 2 weeks.

Use it as a filling in a salted caramel cake, drizzle it over ice cream, or just eat the best caramel sauce by the spoonful!

Enjoy and keep showering your love.
