    This is one recipe which was on my mind for quite a long time.I wanted to make a delicious caramel brownies using this sauce. But in my place i couldn't find readymade sauce, So i decided to try it at home and believe it or not i couldn't resist digging into it. I have been dipping my spoon into the sauce and licking it quite often.

    I loved the salty, sweet, caramely taste of this sauce and it goes well when drizzled over some cold icecream, make sure you warm up the sauce quite a little. You can drizzle it over some pancakes, french toast and the option is pretty endless.

    I am thinking about making a cake with a caramel butter cream icing too. Hope you will try this out and let me know how it turns out for you..

    Preparation Time : 5 mins
    Cooking Time : 15 to 20 mins
    Makes : 2 cup

    Ingredients:
    Granulated Sugar - 1 cup / 200 grams
    Butter - 6 tblspn / 90 grams
    Cream / Fresh Cream - ½ cup / 120 ml
    Salt - 1.5 tsp

    Method:
    Take a nonstick pot. Add in sugar and heat it gently keep mixing it. It will become a clump first then slowly melt. 
    Once it is melted it will slowly start to get a golden colour. 
    Once it gets nice golden colour, add in butter and keep mixing. Once all the butter is melted and in cream and mix well.
    Now bring it to a boil once and turn off the heat,
    Add in salt now and mix well.
    Allow it to cool and then store in a air tight container in fridge.

    Notes:
    1)Dont over boil it or it will get too thick and hard.
    2)If it gets too hard when chilled, you can add some more cream and heat it till melted.
    3)The amount of salt depends on your taste. You can add more.
    4)This sauce stays good upto a month in fridge.

      I made this today but it was not smooth, a bit grainy. I think the cream curdled or something.. What could have been the reason? But the taste was great 🙂

      Hii the butter to be used should be salted or unsalted?
      If salted is used then I can exclude the salt part right?

      Can I use a light thickened cream or does it have to be a full cream? Also, can I use a double boiler as I don't have a non-stick saucepan? Dying to try this recipe.

      Hi aarthi.. Tried this recipe today and it came out amazingly well! The color and texture turned out to be perfect! But I find it too salty for my taste. I added 1.5 tsp of sugar as mentioned. Is there a way to reduce the saltiness now?

      Wonderful recipe Aarthi
      Just that it is salty and 1 TSP of salt would be better instead.
