This 3 Ingredient Caramel sauce is smooth, buttery and rich. It is incredibly easy to make by following this beginner-friendly recipe. The caramel sauce comes together in about 15 minutes and you will have the perfect topping to your favorite treats (or to simply eat with a spoon).

Ingredients
 

  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 4 tbsp Salted Butter
  • 1/4 cup Heavy Cream

Instructions
 

  • Using a heavy-duty and wide stainless steal saucepan or sauté pan, add the granulated sugar and spread it into an even layer
  • Warm over medium heat, stirring constantly as the sugar starts to melt to ensure it doesn't burn. First the sugar will form clumps before melting into an amber-colored liquid (Note: this could take between 5-15 minutes depending on your stovetop, mine took almost 15 minutes)
  • Once melted, remove from the heat and stir in the butter. Be careful as the mixture will be bubbling a lot. Stir until the butter is melted
  • Pour in the heavy cream slowly and stir until everything is combined
  • Transfer to a small bowl or glass cup/mason jar to cool completely
  • Once cooled, use in recipes or add as a topping to an ice cream sundae!
