Salted Caramel Sauce
This salted caramel sauce comes together with water, sugar, butter, and heavy whipping cream, with a little salt to help perfectly balance the sweetness.
Servings: 24
Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cold water
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan add sugar and cold water and mix well with a whisk.
- Over medium-high heat place the pan and watch for it to turn amber, about 15-20 minutes. Don’t stir during this time.
- Place the cream in the microwave for 30 seconds, just enough to make it warm.
- Turn the heat to the saucepan down to medium-low heat.
- Slowly pour the cream into the sugar mixture using a whisk to continuously stir.
- Allow to simmer for a few minutes until smooth, still stirring.
- Add the butter and the salt and turn off the heat.
- Stir the sauce until nice and smooth, the butter has melted and the salt dissolved.
- Serve over ice cream or your favorite dessert.
Notes
- This makes a total of 1-1/2 cups of salted caramel sauce. I'm counting a "serving" as 1 tablespoon for a total of 24 servings.
