Servings 200 grams
Ingredients
- 100 g Brown sugar 1/2 cup
- 56 g Butter, room temp. 1/4 cup
- 85 g Heavy cream (35% fat) 1/3 cup
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp Salt
Instructions
- Add the sugar to a saucepan and let it melt on medium heat, stirring occasionally using a silicon spatula, for about 15 minutes.
- Once the sugar is fully melted, add the butter and whisk until melted.
- Pour in the cream while whisking. Be careful, it will foam up. Stir for about a minute for sauce consistency. It should be smooth, with no lumps or separation. The longer you cook it the thicker it will get. Remember, it thickens more as it cools.
- When ready, remove from the stove, add the vanilla and salt, and continue whisking for 30-60 seconds, then transfer to a jar or use as needed.
- Keep it well-sealed at room temperature for a day, or once it’s completely cooked, you can keep it in the fridge for up to 2 months.
