Homemade caramel is rich, buttery, and surprisingly simple to make with just a few basic ingredients. As the sugar transforms into a deep amber syrup and is combined with butter and cream, it develops a smooth texture and incredible flavor that’s perfect for desserts, coffee drinks, ice cream, and more. Once you make caramel from scratch, you’ll never want to go back to store-bought.

Ingredients:

• 1 Cup White Sugar
• 6 Tbsp Unsalted Butter
• 1/2 Cup Heavy Cream (For thicker caramel use 1/3 Cup, for thinner use 2/3 Cup)
• Salt to taste

Directions:

• Start by heating the sugar in a pot over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it reaches a deep amber color (Be sure to not let it brown or it may taste bitter)
• Remove from heat and stir in the butter (It will bubble a lot)
• Warm up the cream so it’s not cold and slowly pour in the pot while mixing
• Add 1/4 – 1/2 tsp of salt, more if you want a noticeable salty caramel taste
• Last pour into a container and let cool before eating
• Serve and enjoy!
