Salted Caramel Sauce Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar

  • 6 tbsp (90 g) unsalted butter, cubed, at room temperature

  • ½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream, at room temperature

  • 1 tsp flaky sea salt (Maldon or fleur de sel works best)


Method:

  1. Melt the sugar:

    • In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the sugar over medium heat.

    • Stir constantly with a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula.

    • The sugar will clump, then melt into an amber-colored liquid.

  2. Add the butter:

    • Once fully melted and golden, carefully add the butter.

    • It will bubble intensely — keep stirring until fully combined.

  3. Pour in the cream:

    • Slowly drizzle in the cream while stirring.

    • The mixture will bubble up again; stir until smooth.

  4. Finish with salt:

    • Remove from heat and stir in the flaky sea salt.

    • Let cool slightly before transferring to a jar.


Storage:

  • Keep in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

  • Warm slightly before using for the best drizzle effect.
