Ingredients

• 1 cup Pure maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 pinch Pinch of salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the maple syrup, unsalted butter, and light brown sugar over medium heat.

Step 2

Stir the mixture continuously as the butter melts and the sugar dissolves, ensuring a smooth consistency.

Step 3

Allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent scorching.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and slowly stir in the heavy cream, mixing well to incorporate.

Step 5

Continue to heat the sauce for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt for added depth of flavor.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Serve warm over ice cream or your favorite dessert, or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to one week. Reheat gently before serving.
