How to Make Amaretto Butterscotch Sauce
- Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup sliced almonds and cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown (about 3-5 minutes).
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Add 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup light corn syrup, and 1 cup heavy cream to the saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring almost constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the sauce slightly thickens (about 3-5 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup Amaretto liqueur. Let cool slightly before serving.
- Serve warm over vanilla ice cream, cakes, brownies, or your favorite dessert.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
