Ingredients

  • 2 cups brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat a heavy-bottom saucepan over medium heat. Add the butter, brown sugar, and heavy cream. Stir the mixture with a whisk as it melts.
  2. Let it come to a gentle boil and bubble up for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Turn off the heat and stir in vanilla extract or vanilla bean extract. Let the caramel cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring it to a jar.
  4. Place in the refrigerator. The caramel will thicken as it is chilled in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Allow the caramel to cool for a few minutes in the saucepan before transferring it to a heat-resistant storage container. Once cooled to room temperature, place in the refrigerator. The caramel will thicken as it cools.
