homemade salted caramel sauce recipe

homemade salted caramel sauce recipe

homemade salted caramel sauce- serve on ice cream, cheesecake, fruit (or eat it with a spoon!)Ok, friends, just in time for the heart of ice cream season and backyard barbeques, I bring you the most delicious recipe ever. I type this knowing that this is dangerous information to share with you- but this homemade salted caramel sauce is so good (seriously, amazing) that I can’t keep it to myself.

the yummiest salted caramel sauce recipeAnd it’s really easy too.

INGREDIENTS

2 cups sugar

12 tablespoons butter

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1 tablespoon coarse salt, in a salt grinder (I bet table salt would work too- just not dissolve quite as fast)

DIRECTIONS

salted caramel ingredientsGather heavy whipping cream (room temp), butter (also room temp), sugar and salt (if you have a salt grinder, even better). Measure out all of your ingredients so they’re ready to go once you start (it’s a little finicky to stir and watch for the sugar to melt and you want to be ready). Also, if your butter is cut into pieces, it makes life easier.

how to make salted caramel sauceAdd 2 cups of sugar to a large saucepan (the ingredient list is short, but it does bubble, so use a larger saucepan). Put on medium heat and wait for the sugar to start to melt. When it does, start whisking. It’ll get clumpy (keep whisking) and then start to turn to liquid (keep whisking).

So good friends!

how to make a backyard puppet theater

Once warmer weather hits, we pretty much live in our backyard. Between sprinkler running, barbecuing, picnicking (does it count as a picnic if it’s in your own backyard?), and summer night star gazing, come May, the backyard is our favorite spot. This summer, we were wanting to add another feature to our Backyard Fun Repertoire. […]
