6-Minute Caramel Recipe – Don’t LOSE this recipe 🔥
Ingredients:
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– ¼ cup water
– ½ cup heavy cream
– 1 tsp pure vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions:
1. Heat the Sugar: In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Stir just enough to moisten the sugar.
2. Cook the Mixture: Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil without stirring. Allow it to cook until it turns a deep amber color, which should take about 5-6 minutes. Swirl the pan occasionally to ensure even caramelization, but do not stir.
3. Add the Cream: Remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully add the heavy cream while whisking continuously. Be cautious, as the mixture will bubble up vigorously.
4. Stir in Vanilla: Add the vanilla extract, if using, and stir until the caramel is smooth.
5. Cool and Use: Let the caramel cool slightly before using. It will thicken as it cools.
This quick caramel sauce is perfect for drizzling over ice cream, cakes, or anything that needs a sweet touch!
