Total Time15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  • Melt the sugar: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the sugar, stirring constantly. It may clump at first—don’t panic.
  • Add the butter: Carefully stir in the butter once the sugar is fully melted. The mixture will bubble up, so go slow.
  • Incorporate the cream: Slowly pour in the heavy cream while whisking. Keep whisking until smooth.
  • Season: Stir in sea salt and vanilla extract. Taste and adjust salt if needed.
  • Cool & store: Let the sauce cool slightly, then pour into a jar. Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Warm gently before using.
