Description

This Butterscotch Sauce is a must-try! With its rich flavor from butter and brown sugar, it’s an effortless addition to any dessert or treat.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 tablespoons (84g) unsalted butter, sliced
  • 1 cup (200g) packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup (118ml) heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, or vanilla bean paste
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add brown sugar and heavy whipping cream, and stir until it begins to boil.
  3. Let it boil without stirring for 3 minutes once it reaches a full boil.
  4. Remove from heat and mix in vanilla and salt.
  5. Transfer to a jar and allow to cool before sealing.
  6. The sauce will thicken as it cools; refrigerating will result in a soft solid. Reheat in the microwave for about 30 seconds prior to use.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use high-quality vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste.
This sauce works wonderfully over ice cream or pancakes.
Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
