How to make easy Homemade Caramel Sauce that is delicious drizzled over ice cream for a sundae, put in your morning coffee, over cakes, cheesecakes, over these Pumpkin Cheesecake Crumb Bars, and Caramel Dutch Apple Pie.. You really can't go wrong wherever you use your Caramel Sauce.
I still haven't perfected the perfect drizzle caramel drizzle for a photo, but it's an ongoing work in progress.
We are total Caramel Sauce addicts in our house, Colt thinks he needs to live on the stuff.
Can I blame him? Heck no, it's my all time favorite treat too and who doesn't like a little caramel sauce drizzled in their morning coffee, it's better than Starbucks. His drink to make at home using Caramel Sauce is a Snickers Iced Coffee.
We also love it in brownies like these Fudge Brownies with Caramel Swirl and of course drizzled over yesterdays Hawaiian Host Dark Chocolate AlohaMac Brownies.
Mmmm and in or on top of ice cream like Caramel Ice Cream with Caramel Swirl it totally speaks my love language!
Here's how I make this easy Caramel Sauce Recipe:
Caramel sauce..This stuff is dangerous! Beware! I made this to make fudge brownies with caramel swirl to bring over to a friends house for a game night.
We had such a good time playing games and eating all sorts of tasty goodies..
This sauce is pure deliciousness over ice cream, in your morning coffee (hello caramel macchiato), scooped straight in to your mouth and just about anything else your heart desires..
To a medium/large sauce pan add:
- 1 1/2 cups Granulated Sugar
- 1/4 cup Corn Syrup
- 1/2 cup Water
Heat over medium-high heat until until sugar mixture turns medium brown caramel colored. DO NOT STIR PAN.
If needed swirl pan lightly.
In a small sauce pan heat:
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 5 tablespoons Butter
- 3/4 teaspoon Salt
Over medium heat until butter melts over medium heat.
Once sugar mixture reaches a medium brown color add cream mixture while stirring. Mixture will bubble up rapidly so be careful!
Cook mixture over medium heat until mixture reaches 225 degrees. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Allow to cool for 5 minutes.
Pour into a heat safe storage container and store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Heat up desired amount on the stove as needed.
