Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup brown sugar (for thicker caramel like dulce de leche) (or use granulated sugar for a thinner caramel)
• 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into cubes
• 10 tablespoons heavy cream
• Optional
• pinch of sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions

• In a medium saucepan over medium-low, combine all the ingredients together with a wooden spoon or silicon spatula. Once the mixture boils and bubbles, allow to simmer and thicken for about 5 to 7 minutes until it reaches a caramel like consistency (stir only once or twice in between). Be patient and the caramel will come together eventually.
• Remove from heat immediately once it comes together and allow to cool. The mixture will get thicker as it cools. Store in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
