Easy Salted Caramel Recipe

With only 6 simple ingredients, you can have the most delicious salted caramel sauce! It's perfect for topping desserts like ice cream, cheesecake, brownies and more.
Cook Time 10 minutes
Course Dessert
Servings 1 cup

Ingredients
  

  • ¾ cup granulated sugar - 150 grams
  • 3 tbsp water
  • ½ cup heavy cream - 120 ml, at room temperature
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter - cut into pieces
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Place sugar and water in a medium sauce pan. I use my 8-inch stainless steel frying pan and it works great. Use a spatula and stir them together slightly.
  • Heat over high heat. Slowly the mixture will start to bubble. Do not use a spatula or spoon to stir the mixture, but gently swirl the pan once in a while. Keep a close eye on it. After about 5 minutes, you'll see that the color starts to change. When it reaches a deep golden color, take it off the heat immediately (Caramel burns rather quickly so be careful).
  • While whisking, stir in the cream and continue whisking until combined (when you add the cream, caramel will start to bubble so be careful and keep a little distance).
  • Add in the butter and stir until melted. Add in salt and vanilla extract and stir to combine.
  • Allow the caramel to cool down before using. You can transfer it into a jar and keep it in the fridge for up to 7 days.
  • Caramel will slightly harden in the fridge. So microwave it for 10-20 seconds until it reaches your desired consistency.
