Ingredients

• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Dark brown sugar
• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons Cold water
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Whipped cream
• 2 tablespoons Caramel sauce

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

Step 2

Once melted, add the dark brown sugar and stir until the mixture becomes thick and bubbly, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Gradually whisk in the heavy cream and whole milk. Stir well to combine, and reduce heat to medium-low.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with cold water to create a smooth slurry. Slowly pour this slurry into the saucepan while whisking constantly.

Step 5

Continue cooking the mixture, stirring frequently, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the salt and vanilla extract, then remove the saucepan from heat.

Step 7

Pour the butterscotch mixture into individual serving glasses or bowls, and allow it to cool to room temperature.

Step 8

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set the dessert fully.

Step 9

Before serving, top each dessert with a dollop of fresh whipped cream and drizzle caramel sauce on top for an elegant finish.
