i have, what you call, an obsessive nature, it's a good thing drugs never had any appeal to me, what does appeal to me is sugar. especially browned delicious caramel-y sugar. i have made this recipe several times and it is always amazing and so very easy to make (in fact a little TOO easy since i could sit with a spoon and just eat a bowlful myself). make this recipe to top on ice cream or throw it on your brownies to make them even more decadent. once you see how easy it is you to will be eating everything with caramel on top, trust me on this one.
salted caramel sauce
ingredients:
1/3 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons water
1/3 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
get er done:
1. put the white sugar and 2 tablespoons water in a small saucepan over low heat and let the sugar dissolve completely (stirring occasionally)
2. bring to a boil and cook until the syrup turns to an amber color (no stirring necessary)
3. take off the heat for a moment and add the brown sugar and butter stirring until dissolved
4. put back on medium heat and add cream stirring until incorporated and the caramel is coating the back of the spoon (you have to be your own judge in this, i wait till it is a thicker coating on the back the thinner it looks the thinner your caramel will be)
5. take off heat and add the sea salt
6. put it in a dish and place in the fridge to thicken it up more. i often double this recipe and it works great in larger volumes as well.
7. enjoy!
