How to Make Rich Caramel Sauce
- Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Add 1 cup of granulated sugar and cook, stirring constantly with a heat-resistant spatula, until the sugar is completely melted and the mixture turns a deep amber color. This will take approximately 4-6 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Carefully remove the saucepan from the heat. The mixture will be very hot!
- Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup of heavy cream in a slow, steady stream. Be cautious as the mixture will bubble vigorously.
- Return the saucepan to medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving over your favorite dessert.
