Ingredients

• 6 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
• 1 cup Dark Brown Sugar
• 1 cup Heavy Cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

Step 2

Once the butter is fully melted, add the dark brown sugar and stir until the mixture is combined and smooth.

Step 3

Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring constantly to prevent curdling or separation.

Step 4

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, to allow the sauce to thicken and the sugar to fully dissolve.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.

Step 6

Allow the sauce to cool slightly before using it as a topping or transferring it to a jar for storage.

Step 7

Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Reheat gently before serving.
