Ingredients
- ⅓ cup salted butter sliced into pats
- 1 cup dark brown sugar packed
- ½ cup dark Karo syrup
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon optional
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg optional
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Add the sliced butter to a 2 to 3-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Allow the butter to melt completely.
- Whisk in the dark brown sugar, dark Karo syrup, vanilla, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and kosher salt. Whisk constantly until the brown sugar mixture reaches a low boil and continue whisking for about 4-5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Immediately whisk in the heavy cream. (The brown sugar sauce will be a bit thin but will thicken as it cools) Allow the brown sugar sauce to cool completely.
Notes
- If you prefer, you can remove the ground cinnamon and nutmeg from the recipe. The sauce will still be delicious without these optional ingredients.
