Caramel Sauce
This homemade caramel sauce recipe has a rich flavor and a smooth, creamy texture. It's thin enough to drizzle onto ice cream, cheesecake or apple pie, or to swirl into morning coffee. Here's how to make caramel sauce—without a candy thermometer!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup water
- 1-1/2 cups sugar
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, optional
Directions
- In a large heavy saucepan, combine sugar and water; stir gently to moisten all the sugar. Cook over medium-low heat, until sugar is dissolved.
- Continue to cook until syrup turns a medium amber color, about 6-8 minutes. Reduce heat to low, and cook until sugar reaches 360°, about 5 minutes longer.
- Immediately remove from heat and carefully stir in heavy cream, salt and if desired, vanilla.
