Easy Homemade Butterscotch Sauce Recipe
Description
Easy Homemade Butterscotch Sauce Recipe combines cream, butter, dark brown sugar, salt, and optional vanilla extract to create a classic dessert topping. The ingredients are cooked gently over low heat to dissolve the sugar, followed by a short simmer to meld the flavors without reaching a boil. After removing from heat, salt and vanilla are whisked in, enhancing the sauce's depth and richness. This butterscotch sauce has a smooth, creamy texture and a balanced sweetness with buttery undertones, suitable for drizzling over ice cream, pancakes, or other desserts.
Ingredients
- ⅔ cup cream
- 4 tablespoons butter
- ½ cup dark brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
