Salted Caramel Drizzle
Half the reason I love fall is because it's time for salted caramel. Salted caramel lattes, salted caramel desserts, allllll the salted caramel. Lucky for you, this salted caramel syrup recipe is so versatile, you can add it to whatever you want and get all the fall flavors in every bite (or sip!). Put this stuff on ice cream, in your coffee, and when your family isn't watching, just take a spoonful. I won't judge ;)
Ingredients
- ¼ cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoon unsalted butter softened
- ¾ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Put ¼ cup water and sugar into a sauce pan, and do not stir. Swirl the sugar and water together until sugar is dissolved. Take a wet pastry brush and wet the sugar crystals on the sides of the pan to ensure all sugar crystals are moist. This will prevent crystallization of the mixture later on.
- Heat the mixture on medium, never stirring, until the whole mixture becomes a light brown/amber color (about 10-15 minutes). Be careful, it burns quickly once it's at this stage, so immediately move onto the next step.
- Vigorously whisk in heavy cream until fully incorporated and smooth. The mixture will bubble significantly during this step.
- Transfer to a heat-proof bowl, and add in butter and salt. Stir until the butter is melted.
- Once cooled, do a taste test and add more salt if desired.
- Voila! Now you can make everything taste like fall :)
