Comment préparer Authentic Caramel Sauce
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar and water. Do not stir.
- Cook, swirling the pan occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and turns a light amber color. This will take about 8-10 minutes. Be patient and avoid stirring as this can cause crystallization.
- Remove from heat and carefully whisk in the butter until melted and incorporated. Be careful as the mixture will be very hot.
- Slowly whisk in the heavy cream. The mixture will bubble up – whisk continuously to prevent scorching.
- Stir in the salt and vanilla extract (if using).
- Pour the caramel sauce into a heatproof bowl or jar. Let it cool completely before using or storing.
- Once cooled, store the caramel sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
