Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 3 tablespoons Irish whiskey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until fully melted and bubbling slightly.

Step 2

Add the brown sugar and honey to the saucepan. Stir continuously for 1-2 minutes, ensuring the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture becomes smooth.

Step 3

Slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly to combine. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer gently for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Add the Irish whiskey, vanilla extract, and salt to the saucepan. Stir well to incorporate the flavors evenly.

Step 5

Continue cooking the sauce on low heat for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until it thickens slightly. Be careful not to let the sauce boil vigorously to avoid separating the cream.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool for 5-10 minutes. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.

Step 7

Serve warm, drizzled over your favorite desserts or used as a glaze for meats. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Reheat gently before serving.
