Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients: brown sugar, unsalted butter, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for smooth mixing.
- Select a medium-sized heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent burning and ensure even heat distribution.
- Melt the unsalted butter over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
- Once the butter is completely melted and begins to foam, add the brown sugar gradually while continuously whisking.
- Stir the butter and sugar mixture until it becomes smooth and begins to bubble, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Slowly pour in the heavy cream while whisking vigorously to prevent separation and create a uniform sauce.
- Continue cooking and stirring for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
- Remove from heat and immediately stir in vanilla extract, which will enhance the sauce's depth of flavor.
- Allow the sauce to cool for 5 minutes, during which it will continue to thicken slightly.
- Transfer to a clean glass jar or serving container. The sauce can be served warm or at room temperature.
- Store any leftover sauce in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Reheat gently before serving.
Tips
- • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to ensure even heat distribution and prevent burning • Keep your heat at a consistent medium level to avoid scorching the sugar • Whisk continuously to create a smooth, lump-free sauce • Use room temperature ingredients for better integration • For extra depth, consider adding a pinch of sea salt or a splash of bourbon • If the sauce becomes too thick when cooling, gently reheat with a splash of cream • Always store in a clean, sealed container to maintain freshness • Experiment with drizzling over different desserts like apple pie, brownies, or cheesecake
