Equipment

  • Medium saucepan
  • Wooden spoon or whisk

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup heavy cream room temperature

Instructions
 

  • Melt the Sugar:
  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the sugar. Stir continuously with a wooden spoon as the sugar melts and turns golden brown. Be patient—this will take 6–8 minutes.
  • Add the Cream:
  • Once the sugar has melted and caramelized, carefully pour in the heavy cream while stirring. The mixture will bubble, so add it slowly. Continue stirring until smooth and fully combined.
  • Cool and Serve:
  • Remove the caramel sauce from the heat and let it cool slightly. Pour into a heatproof jar or container.
  • Use as Desired:
  • Drizzle over ice cream, pancakes, churros, or desserts. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Reheat gently if it thickens.
