A quick and easy homemade caramel sauce that adds a rich, sweet flavor to desserts, ice cream, and more.
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the granulated sugar, stirring constantly until it turns into a golden-brown liquid.
Step 2
Immediately add the unsalted butter to the saucepan. Be careful as the mixture will bubble up.
Step 3
Stir the butter into the caramel until it is completely melted, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring. The mixture will bubble up again.
Step 5
Allow the caramel to boil for 1 minute, then remove from heat and stir in a pinch of salt.
Step 6
Let the caramel sauce cool in the saucepan for a few minutes before transferring it to a jar to cool completely.
