Ingredients for Amaretto Caramel Sauce

  • Brown Sugar
  • Whipping Cream
  • Light Corn Syrup
  • Butter
  • 2 tablespoons Amaretto liqueur

How to Make Amaretto Caramel Sauce

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup unsalted butter, and 1/4 teaspoon sea salt.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves completely.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 8-10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly and reaches a light caramel color. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully whisk in 2 tablespoons of Amaretto liqueur.
  5. Serve warm over your favorite ice cream, cake, or other desserts. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
