Homemade salted caramel recipe that's easy and quick to make. A delicious topping for your holiday desserts!
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 6 tablespoons butter
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Place the sugar in a heavy sauce pan and cook on medium-high heat stirring until the sugar has melted and turned an amber color.
- Stir in the butter, one tablespoon at a time, while whisking vigorously until fully combined. (The mixture will bubble up fiercely so make sure to keep your face away from the pot while adding the butter.)
- Remove from the heat and then add the heavy cream while whisking constantly until smooth. Add salt and whisk to incorporate.
- Let the caramel cool and then store in a glass container with a lid.
Notes
- Let the caramel cool and then store in a glass container with a lid. Store in fridge for up to 1 month.
- Be very careful, the melted sugar is very hot.
- Use a deep saucepan so that the sugar does not spill over the sides when adding the butter and cream.
