How to Make Creme Brulee Dessert Sauce

  1. Combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup water in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.
  2. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to turn amber. Use a damp pastry brush to remove any sugar crystals from the sides of the pan to prevent crystallization.
  3. Continue stirring until the mixture reaches a deep amber color, similar to caramel. This takes about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to burn it!
  4. Carefully remove the pan from the heat. Gradually whisk in 1 cup heavy cream, a little at a time, whisking vigorously after each addition to prevent splattering. Be cautious as the mixture will bubble and steam.
  5. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  6. Return the pan to low heat and simmer for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  7. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving. Drizzle over your favorite desserts or use as a dip.
