Sea Salt Caramel Sauce
Description
The Sea Salt Caramel Sauce starts by melting salted butter in a saucepan and incorporating sweetened condensed milk, corn syrup, and brown sugar. The mixture is stirred consistently over medium heat until simmering and thickened, with careful scraping to prevent burning. The cooking is monitored until it reaches 200–205 degrees, ensuring the sauce is smooth without granulation.
After removing from heat, vanilla extract and sea salt are stirred in to develop flavor and provide a subtle saltiness that cuts the sweetness. The resulting sauce is thick, glossy, and creamy, making it versatile for use as a topping, filling, or dip for a variety of desserts.
This caramel sauce stores well when cooled and jarred, maintaining its pourable consistency. It enhances desserts such as ice cream, cakes, or fruit and can be used creatively for dipping or drizzling applications.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter salted
- 2 1/4 cups brown sugar
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat.
- Pour in the sweetened condensed milk, corn syrup, and add in the brown sugar.
- Using a whisk or rubber spatula, stir all ingredients over medium heat until it starts to simmer. Scrape the sides and bottom regularly.
- Let the sauce simmer until the temperature reaches 200-205 degrees. We want to simmer the sauce long enough to eliminate granulation, but not to reach the soft ball stage.
- Once the sauce has reached the desired temperature, remove from heat and carefully stir in the vanilla and salt until everything is well combined.
- Let the sauce cool, then pour it into jars for storage.
Notes
- This recipe yields approximately 2 to 2 1/2 cups of caramel sauce.
- The sauce works well as a dip, dessert topping, or filling.
- Maintain steady stirring during cooking to prevent burning and achieve smooth consistency.
- Allow sauce to cool before transferring to storage jars to preserve texture.
