Calories: 3927kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups packed light brown sugar
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch sea salt or sea salt flakes (optional)
Instructions
- In a heavy saucepan, melt together the butter and brown sugar, stirring constantly to prevent sugar from burning on the bottom of the pan.
- Once the butter and sugar have melted, whisk in the heavy cream until smooth.
- Cook the sauce over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes, just until it begins simmering. Continue to stir constantly.
- Remove from heat and carefully stir in the vanilla extract (mixture will bubble up) and a pinch of salt, if desired (mixture will bubble up for a moment and then subside).
- Cool to room temperature, toffee sauce will thicken as it cools.
Notes
PRO TIP: Stir frequently with a wooden spoon, so you don’t scorch the caramel.
PRO TIP: The vanilla and salt are optional and will change the flavor of the caramel sauce - you can adjust the amounts to your preferred taste.
PRO TIP: The toffee sauce thickens as it cools. Once it is completely cool, it will be too thick to pour smoothly. It can be reheated for 10-15 seconds at a time in the microwave to make it more pourable.
