Homemade Salted Caramel Sauce

August 25, 2014

salted caramel sauce

Salted caramel seems to be everywhere you look these days, and I’m certainly not complaining about it! If you’re into the ever-so-slightly muted sweetness which means you can handle a second dessert, this homemade salted caramel sauce is for you!

You’re going to love how simple this is, too! (Err, that’s if you’re the kind of person who gets excited about salted caramel recipes which, evidently, I am.)

The recipe isn’t the most traditional but it does make for an easy salted caramel sauce that only takes 10 minutes. Which, by my counting means it can be made and in your mouth in about 1o mins & 5 seconds. Yes please!

There’s no need to peer over the stove praying that your sugar doesn’t burn in this recipe. Just melt butter, brown sugar & golden syrup together before stirring in a little double cream and salt and you’re good to go!

I used Maldon sea salt for this and I’d recommend sticking to decent quality salt since it’s the predominant flavour. That little kick of saltiness married with the sugary molasses flavour is SO perfect.

If you’re not quite so sure about the salt, start with less and taste as you go. Just in case you needed an excuse to taste-test straight from the pan 😉

Good quality vanilla ice-cream, a drizzle of homemade salted caramel sauce and some chopped hazelnuts. You can thank me later 😉
