Thick Caramel Sauce

 

If you’re looking for a sweet topping for cakes, apples, or other sweets, try this buttery caramel sauce. A little cream, sweetened condensed milk, and dark brown sugar make this thick and wonderful.

Things needed:

Stick with 1 cup of butter.

Dark brown sugar, 2 cups, tightly packed

1 cup of golden syrup

Sweetened condensed milk, one can (14 oz.)

Four teaspoons of heavy cream

two tablespoons of vanilla essence

Add salt to taste, using 1 teaspoon.

Instructions:

How to Melt Butter:

The butter should be melted over medium heat in a big, heavy-bottomed pot.

Combine the corn syrup and dark brown sugar by stirring in the packed sugar and corn syrup until well mixed. After the sugar has dissolved, keep stirring.

Fill up the gaps with sweetened condensed milk, stirring constantly as you slowly pour it in. Bring the ingredients to a low boil.

Bring to a boil, then lower heat to medium-low. Simmer, stirring often, for another five to seven minutes, or until mixture is thick. Make sure not to allow it to burn.

Whisk in the heavy cream, vanilla essence, and salt after taking the pan from the heat. To taste, add more salt or less as desired.

Before serving, let the caramel sauce cool a little. As it cools, it will get thicker. Put any excess in the fridge by transferring to an airtight container or jar.

Dessert Ideas: Top with ice cream, brownies, or cheesecake for a festive presentation.

Try it with some pretzels or apple slices for a dip.

For a caramelly sweet touch, just add a tablespoon to your coffee.
