Microwave Salted Caramel Sauce

Microwave Salted Caramel Sauce combines butter, dark brown sugar, cream, salt, and vanilla for a quick caramel topping made in a microwave-safe jug. Heating in intervals until golden, then whisking smooth, produces a rich and creamy sauce suitable for ice cream, dessert drizzling, or spooning.

Description

This salted caramel sauce recipe uses simple ingredients melted and cooked together in a microwave. Butter, brown sugar, and cream are microwaved in short bursts while stirring until the mixture reaches a golden caramel color and bubbles. It is then flavored with vanilla extract and salt, whisked until smooth and creamy.

The sauce has a balanced sweet and salty taste with a velvety texture that enhances desserts like ice cream or baked goods. It can be stored in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to eight weeks and served chilled or warmed.
