Desiree's Notes:

I absolutely love caramel! After making a bread pudding for the first time, I came up with this sauce to top it. This creamy, decadent topping will blow any dessert away!

Have some caramel sauce leftover, you are trying to get read of? Make it into a caramel dip/glaze for fruit! Add 3/4 cup powdered sugar per 1/4 cup caramel sauce. Cream mixture together with a spoon.

*** Tip: sift your powdered sugar into the sauce to avoid excess lumps.***

Directions

Measure out your ingredients.

Combine dark brown sugar, butter and heavy cream in a medium sized microwave safe glass mixing bowl. Do not stir.

Heat mixture through, on high, for one minute. Stir. Repeat this step.

Your caramel sauce should start to thicken at this point. Microwave for two minutes more and let boil.

Be Careful this mixture is hot!!! Use an oven mitt to remove your sauce from the oven. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes. Pour this topping on ice cream, bread pudding, waffles, or whatever your little heart desires.
