Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Brown sugar (light or dark)
• 3 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 pinch Salt

Directions

Step 1

Place a medium saucepan over medium heat and add the unsalted butter.

Step 2

Once the butter is fully melted, stir in the brown sugar and heavy cream.

Step 3

Continue stirring the mixture constantly until it comes to a gentle boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low.

Step 4

Let the mixture simmer for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens slightly and takes on a glossy texture.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Mix well to combine.

Step 6

Allow the butterscotch topping to cool slightly before serving. It will thicken further as it cools.

Step 7

Drizzle warm or room-temperature butterscotch topping generously over ice cream, desserts, or breakfast treats. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Reheat gently before serving if needed.
