Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup salted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup corn syrup
Instructions
- Melt butter and brown sugar: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and brown sugar together slowly, stirring frequently to avoid boiling and ensure they combine smoothly.
- Add sweetened condensed milk and corn syrup: Stir in the sweetened condensed milk and corn syrup into the melted butter and sugar mixture, combining all ingredients thoroughly.
- Whisk to thicken: Whisk the mixture gently and constantly over low heat as it thickens, scraping down the sides of the pan often. The sauce should develop a glossy, smooth texture.
- Remove from heat and cool: Once the sauce is thick and rich, remove the pan from heat and allow it to cool slightly at room temperature.
- Refrigerate to thicken further: Pour the caramel sauce into a jar and refrigerate it to let it thicken further. When chilled, it will be perfect for drizzling over your favorite desserts.
Notes
- Do not let the mixture boil to prevent burning and graininess.
- Constant whisking helps achieve a smooth, glossy sauce.
- Store the caramel sauce in the refrigerator and bring to room temperature before use for easier drizzling.
- This recipe makes about 2 servings of caramel sauce, perfect for desserts like ice cream or apple slices.
