Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- ⅔ cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon Salt, more to taste
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the 8 tablespoons unsalted butter. Once the butter is completely melted, stir in the 1 cup packed brown sugar. Whisk the mixture briskly and constantly for 2 minutes on medium-low heat.
- The mixture will barely start to bubble. Briskly whisk in the ⅔ cup heavy whipping cream.
- Add in the 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, raise the heat to medium, and briskly whisk for another 2 minutes.
- Remove the mixture from the heat. It will be relatively thick, but not as thick as a caramel sauce. Pour the mixture into a heat-safe jar, and place it in the fridge.
- After about 30 to 45 minutes, the mixture will be a thick and delicious caramel sauce. Stir in the ½ teaspoon salt, and increase the amount to taste.
