Ingredients

• 150 grams granulated sugar
• 100 grams unsalted butter
• 150 ml heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 250 ml whole milk
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 pinch salt
• 0.5 teaspoon butter-flavored extract (optional, for nutty flavor)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat and add the sugar. Cook while stirring frequently until the sugar completely melts and turns a rich amber color (approximately 5 minutes).

Step 2

Carefully add the heavy cream to the sugar mixture, stirring continuously. The caramel will bubble vigorously, so caution is necessary. Continue stirring until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Step 3

Reduce heat to low, and add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to the caramel. Stir to combine, then remove the caramel mixture from the heat and set it aside.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and milk until fully combined and no lumps remain.

Step 5

Return the saucepan with the caramel mixture to medium heat and slowly pour in the milk-cornstarch mixture while continuously stirring.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to simmer. Stir occasionally until thickened to a glaze consistency, which should take about 10 minutes.

Step 7

If using, add the butter-flavored extract to achieve a slight nutty aroma. This is optional and depends on your taste preference.

Step 8

Once thickened, remove from heat and allow to cool slightly before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm over your favorite desserts such as ice cream, pound cake, or as a dipping sauce for fruits.
