Servings: 16 tsp
Calories: 52kcal
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp butter salted or unsalted
- ½ cup brown sugar packed
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- ¼ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Whisk together all your ingredients (except the vanilla) in a heavy-bottom saucepan on medium-high heat and bring to a boil.
- Bring down to a simmer and whisk until it thickens (it takes me about 13 minutes - but make sure not to thicken it too much; it will continue to harden as it cools).
- Once thick enough, whisk in the ¼ teaspoon vanilla then remove from the heat.
- Very carefully pour the caramel into a heatproof container. Allow to cool slightly before using (remember: hot sugar!).

Notes
The sauce will harden as it cools. However, you can just pop it into the microwave for a few seconds to soften it up again.
