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).
- 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 4 tbsp Salted Butter
- 1/4 cup Heavy Cream
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!
