Oh this is so incredibly yummy. I originally made this sauce to go with my pumpkin cheesecake, but Michelle (chelleicious) thought it would be good as a stand-alone recipe. I agree. This sauce would be PERFECT on MANY desserts...ice cream, cake, pie, fruit...or just right out of the bowl with a spoon!

How To Make salted caramel sauce

  • 1
    Put sugars and water in small, heavy saucepan. Bring to boil over medium heat. Boil for 4 minutes. It will be dark because of the brown sugar. Do NOT overcook it or you'll burn the sugar and have to start over.
  • 2
    Remove from heat, add cream, salt and butter and whisk until well blended. NOTE: Start with 1 tsp salt and stir. Add more to taste. It should be salty, but not briny.
  • 3
    May be served warm, room temp, or chilled. Note: if served chilled, make sure you stir it up well before serving as it tends to separate when cold.
  • 4
    This stores nicely in the refrigerator for at least a week or so in a sealed plastic container or glass jar.
