How to Make Best Ever Hot Caramel Sauce
- Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over low heat.
- Add 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1/2 cup milk. Stir to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Be careful, it will bubble vigorously!
- Once boiling, continue to stir constantly and boil for exactly 1 minute.
- Remove from heat and let the sauce cool slightly (about 5-10 minutes).
- Carefully pour the cooled caramel into a blender. Add 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract. Secure the lid and blend on medium speed until completely smooth and creamy.
- Serve immediately over your favorite vanilla ice cream, warm apple pie, or create a sensational hot caramel sundae!
- Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
