Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240 ml) brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Place a medium saucepan on medium heat and allow butter to liquefy completely, creating a smooth golden base.
- Introduce brown sugar into the melted butter, stirring continuously until the mixture transforms into a uniform, glossy consistency.
- Carefully stream heavy cream into the caramelized mixture, whisking gently to prevent sudden splattering and ensure even incorporation.
- Maintain a low, steady simmer while stirring consistently, allowing the sauce to develop depth and slightly increase in viscosity for approximately 4-5 minutes.
- Remove the pan from heat and infuse the sauce with vanilla extract and a delicate touch of salt, enhancing the rich, complex flavor profile.
- Allow the butterscotch sauce to rest and cool naturally, which will cause it to gradually thicken and develop a luxurious, silky texture.
- Transfer the cooled sauce into a clean, heatproof container, ready to be drizzled over desserts or stored for future culinary adventures.
Notes
- Always use unsalted butter to control the salt level precisely in your butterscotch sauce.
- Watch the heat carefully during simmering to prevent burning, which can make the sauce bitter and ruin the delicate caramel flavor.
- For a lighter version, substitute half the heavy cream with whole milk to reduce calories without sacrificing rich taste.
- Store the sauce in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, gently reheating before serving to restore its smooth consistency.
