Salted Caramel Sauce
Since childhood, I’ve disliked caramel or anything caramel except for Twix.
Yeah, okay, I love sweets… but I did not reach the point of loving caramel… not until salted caramel was born.
I love the combination of salty and sweet and that’s when I started getting crazy over salted caramel sauce. It is just too good that I can almost drink it! 😛
Making caramel sauce is a little tricky for the impatient side of me. You know, you’ll just stand in front of the stove and keep stirring and stirring. And gosh, I was using a stainless steel pot and the handle was too hot! I was using thick gloves, but that handle was really something.
The good thing about this sauce, you don’t need a candy thermometer to make this. You’ll have to carefully watch the color of the caramel and be patient. 😀
Salted Caramel Sauce
- Servings: 1 cup
- Difficulty: easy
Ingredients:
- 1 cup white sugar
- 90g salted butter, cut into 6-pc cubes
- 1/2 cup heavy/whipping cream
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions:
- In a heavy medium saucepan over medium heat, add white sugar. Stir constantly using a wooden spoon. (The sugar will form clumps and melt into thick liquid (amber in color) as you stir. Please be careful not to burn it.)
- Once the sugar is completely melted, add the butter. (The caramel will bubble when butter is added.) Stir until butter is melted.
- While stirring, slowly add the heavy/whipping cream. (The mixture will bubble when the cream is added.)
- Let the mixture boil for a minute.
- Remove the pan from the heat and add in 1 tsp of salt. Allow to cool before using.
Notes:
- This can be made ahead of time and can be stored in the fridge for two weeks.
- Only use heavy or whipping cream.
- If desired to make more than this recipe, it is preferred to make them in batches. Do not double or triple this recipe and make them one time.
- Make sure your saucepan is thick and with a handle. It is better to work on the sauce.

I love this caramel sauce a lot. I would’ve drink the whole glass if I didn’t make this for another recipe.
I am sharing this with my friends at Fiesta Friday #103, co-hosted by the lovely Angie, with this week’s fabulous co-hosts, Sonal and Petra.
Have a fantastic weekend! Wishing you a day full of smiles! 😀 😀 😀

Umm, Jhuls, another fabulous recipe! I can’t wait to try it – I’ve made vegan caramel before and it was amazing but this sounds just as good 🙂 I love the colour – it’s so bright and sunshiny. Perfect for the horrid weather we are having on this island! Lent is coming soon so I must make some time to eat this beforehand!
Jhuls
And your vegan caramel sounds very interesting to me, Maggie. Thank you so much for stopping by. 🙂 x

I am not big on sweets in any shape, except salted caramel that I would have ANY time! I might have to make salted caramel ice cream. You are inspirational! 🙂 Happy Fiesta Friday!
Jhuls
I remember when I heard of salted caramel ice cream I thought ‘Duh? Salted caramel? Is that even an ice cream?’ But now, I am a convert and salted caramel is one of my favorites now. Thank you for co-hosting, Petra. 🙂 x
