Ingredients

• 113 grams Unsalted butter
• 200 grams Dark brown sugar
• 240 ml Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Once the butter has melted, add the dark brown sugar and stir using a heat-resistant spatula or wooden spoon until the sugar combines with the butter and begins to dissolve.

Step 3

Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring continuously. Be cautious as the mixture may bubble up slightly.

Step 4

Continue cooking the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it reaches a smooth and silky consistency. This should take about 4–5 minutes.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Mix until both are fully incorporated.

Step 6

Let the butterscotch sauce cool slightly before serving. It will thicken as it cools.

Step 7

Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Reheat gently before serving.
