How to Make Caramel Ice Cream Sauce
- Whisk together 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar and 2 tablespoons cornstarch in a medium saucepan.
- Gradually whisk in 1 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup water, and 1/4 cup light corn syrup until completely smooth.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to a pourable consistency, stirring continuously to prevent sticking.
- Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract until the butter is melted and fully incorporated.
- Serve immediately over ice cream while warm, or allow to cool completely and refrigerate for later use. For an extra special touch, sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of toasted pecans before serving.
