Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • ½ cup Water
  • 60 gm Salted butter
  • ½ cup Heavy whipping cream 3/4 cup if your prefer a slightly looser sauce
  • ¼ tsp Salt For salted caramel sauce use 1/2 tsp - 1 tsp
  • 1 tsp Vanilla essence

Method
 

  1. Add granulated sugar to a saucepan and pour in the water. Turn the flame on medium heat till the sugar dissolves.
  2. Add butter. Turn the heat to LOW. (Do not stir. Occasionally swirl the pan to ensure even cooking. Do not leave the stove while cooking caramel. Each step is crucial.)
  3. It will take approx. 15 mins to achieve a deep amber colour. Be careful not to burn the sugar.
  4. Once it turns into the deep amber color, immediately take it off the heat and add heavy cream and stir. 
  5. CAUTION: The caramel is extremely hot so make sure to keep a safe distance while pouring the cream and use a long enough spatula to stir. The pan should be large enough to prevent overflowing when it bubbles up.
  6. Add required salt and vanilla essence and stir. When slightly cooled transfer to a glass jar. The sauce will thicken more upon cooling and refrigeration.
  7. Delicious and addictive Salted Caramel sauce is ready to Enjoy as a dip for fruits, on top of ice cream or cakes. :))

Notes

  • Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • Before using, take the required portion and heat up in the microwave for 10- 20 seconds or place the glass jar into hot water so that the caramel sauce liquefies.
  • Freeze for later in freezer-proof jars for up to 2 months.
