Serves 8

Ingredients

Unsalted butter
1/2 cup (1 stick)
Brown sugar
1 cup, packed
Heavy cream
1/2 cup
Vanilla extract
1 teaspoon
Salt
1/4 teaspoon

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat, stirring gently until fully melted.
  2. Add the packed brown sugar to the melted butter and stir continuously until the mixture is well combined and the sugar is dissolved.
  3. Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring constantly to ensure a smooth texture.
  4. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow it to cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
  5. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt to enhance the flavor.
  6. Let the butterscotch sauce cool for a few minutes before serving. It will thicken further as it cools.

Tips

  • 💡 For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or a splash of bourbon to the sauce.
  • 💡 Store any leftover butterscotch sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Gently reheat before serving.
