I posted this caramel sauce before, when I made the Chocolate Caramel Whipped Cream Cake. However, this sauce is so delicious and so versatile, I decided that I had to post it on its own. This sauce is not difficult to make, so please don't be intimidated. It is delicious served over cakes, or pies, or ice cream. You can even mix it into your buttercream frosting. Did I mention that it is incredibly rich and delicious? You'll never want to buy caramel sauce again after this.
Caramel Sauce
Caramel Sauce:
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
Pinch of kosher salt
In a heavy bottomed saucepan, combine the sugar and the water. Cook over medium heat (do not stir, just swirl the pan lightly) until the sugar dissolves, about 4 or 5 minutes. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook the sugar syrup for 7 or 8 minutes until it is amber colored. Add the butter and lightly stir or swirl the mixture until it melts, being careful not to splash the sauce up the sides of the pan. When the butter is melted, remove from the heat and stir in the cream, vanilla, and salt. Let cool before transferring to a jar. Store in the refrigerator. Makes about 1 1/2 cups.
Enjoy! -Cardamommy
