Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (200 grams / 7.05 ounces) brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (115 grams / 4 ounces) unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters / 4 fluid ounces) heavy cream
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Seasoning:
- 1 pinch of salt
Instructions
- Warm the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat until completely melted and smooth.
- Incorporate brown sugar and salt, stirring vigorously until the mixture becomes uniform and glossy.
- Slowly stream in heavy cream while whisking energetically to prevent any clumping or separation.
- Elevate the temperature until the mixture reaches a gentle bubbling point, maintaining a constant swirl with the whisk.
- Allow the sauce to simmer for 3-5 minutes, watching for a subtle thickening and rich caramel-like consistency.
- Immediately remove the pan from heat source and introduce vanilla extract, stirring to integrate fully.
- Transfer the toffee sauce to a serving container or storage vessel, permitting it to cool for approximately 10-15 minutes until it reaches a warm but not scalding temperature.
- Use immediately as a decadent drizzle or refrigerate for future indulgence, noting the sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
Notes
- Prevent crystallization by using a clean, dry whisk and avoiding sugar crystals on the pan’s sides during cooking.
- For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar or add a splash of rum or bourbon to the sauce.
- Cool the sauce completely before refrigerating to maintain its smooth, silky texture.
- Transform this sauce into a dairy-free version by substituting heavy cream with coconut cream or almond milk.
