Ingredients

• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Whiskey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Add the granulated sugar to a medium-sized heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.

Step 2

Continuously stir the sugar with a heatproof spatula as it begins to melt and clump. It will eventually liquefy and turn a golden amber color after about 5–7 minutes. Be careful not to let it burn.

Step 3

Once the sugar is fully melted, carefully add the unsalted butter to the pan. The mixture will bubble vigorously. Stir constantly until the butter is fully incorporated.

Step 4

Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring. Be cautious, as the mixture will bubble up again. Continue to stir until the sauce is smooth and uniform.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the whiskey, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.

Step 6

Let the caramel whiskey sauce cool for 5–10 minutes before using or transferring to a jar for storage.

Step 7

Store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Reheat gently before serving if needed.
