The best caramel sauce

Whenever we think about caramel, we mostly think about the fact that caramel is supposed to behard to make, but this caramel sauce recipe is not hard to make at all, which is one of our favorite caramel recipes. It only calls for sugar, cream, butter and salt, all ingredients we usually have at home at any given time.

The one thing I will say is that you should be careful while cooking the caramel, since there a few things that could go wrong, from burning your hands to overcooking it. The good thing is you don’t really need a kitchen thermometer for this recipe to have a great caramel.

Now, you might be asking yourself -What can I eat this caramel sauce with?-. The answer is pretty much everything! I can think of at least 50 things or dishes to eat it with. With cheesecake, apple pie, chocolate cake, brownies, pop corn, vanilla ice cream, pretzels, banana bread, or just a toasted piece of bread.

How to make caramel sauce

This sauce’s texture is pretty liquid when just made, but once it cools down a bit it turns way creamier. Then, when you put it in the fridge it becomes thicker, so if you would rather have a runnier caramel sauce you should heat it up before using.

  • Meanwhile, place the cream in a heat resitant bowl and put it in the microwave for 12 minutes so it heats up a little.
  • When the 12 minutes have passed, carefully add in the cream, and mix using a rubber spatula and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until a soft caramel forms.
  • Take off the heat, then mix in the butter with a pinch of salt and mix using the same spatula to get a smooth caramel. Serve while still hot and store in a container with a lid for up to 1 month.
