Ingredients

• 200 grams granulated sugar
• 60 ml water
• 90 grams unsalted butter
• 120 ml heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon sea salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water.

Step 2

Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring gently until the sugar dissolves completely. Avoid splashing the mixture onto the sides of the pan.

Step 3

Once dissolved, stop stirring and increase the heat to medium-high. Allow the mixture to boil undisturbed until it changes to a deep amber color, about 8–10 minutes. Keep a watchful eye to prevent burning.

Step 4

As soon as the caramel reaches the desired color, reduce the heat to low and carefully add the unsalted butter, one tablespoon at a time, whisking constantly. Be cautious of bubbling and steam.

Step 5

Slowly pour in the heavy cream while continuing to whisk. The mixture will bubble vigorously—this is normal.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from heat and whisk in the vanilla extract and sea salt until fully incorporated.

Step 7

Let the caramel sauce cool for 10–15 minutes before transferring it to a heat-safe jar or container.

Step 8

Once completely cool, store Caramel Gold in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Reheat gently before use if it thickens.
