Ingredients

• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup brown sugar (light or dark, packed)
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 pinch salt (optional, for salted caramel)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until fully liquid.

Step 2

Stir in the brown sugar, ensuring it's fully dissolved into the melted butter. The mixture will resemble wet sand.

Step 3

Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring. The mixture may bubble up slightly, so use caution when adding the cream.

Step 4

Keep cooking the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, for about 5-7 minutes. The sugar should dissolve completely, and the sauce should start to thicken slightly.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the pure vanilla extract. If making salted caramel, add a pinch of salt at this stage and mix well.

Step 6

Allow the caramel sauce to cool for 5-10 minutes. It will thicken further as it cools.

Step 7

Transfer the sauce to a jar or airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Step 8

To serve, warm the caramel sauce gently in the microwave or on the stovetop, and drizzle over ice cream, desserts, or pancakes.
