Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup heavy cream room temperature
- 1/4 cup butter softened
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp fine sea salt
Instructions
- Combine the sugar and water in a saucepan and briefly stir to combine.
- Turn the burner to medium high heat. Then, do not stir or touch the pan until the sugar has caramelized. The sugar will go from clear, to a champagne color, and then to an amber color (like a copper penny). Once it has reached this color, remove it from the heat.
- Right away, add in the heavy cream and whisk while doing so to combine.
- Then, add the butter and whisk until combined.
- Next, add in the vanilla and sea salt and whisk until combined.
- Finally, serve and enjoy!
