Top our Warm Chocolate Pudding Cakes with this delicious and easy caramel sauce.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar

  • 6 tablespoons (¾ stick) cold unsalted butter, cubed

  • ½ teaspoon coarse salt

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ½ cup heavy cream

Directions

  1. In a medium saucepan, heat sugar over medium-high until melted and brown at edges, 3 minutes. With a heat-resistant spatula, pull melted sugar toward center until all sugar is melted and caramel is deep amber in color, 3 minutes more.

  2. Immediately whisk in butter, salt, and vanilla extract (take care as mixture is extremely hot and will bubble).

  3. Whisk in cream.

  4. Pour into a heatproof container and let cool. (To store, refrigerate, up to 3 weeks.)
