Recipe FAQ

Can I use light cream instead of heavy cream?

Using light cream will result in a thinner caramel sauce. Heavy cream is recommended for a thicker and richer sauce.

Can I use salted butter instead of unsalted butter?

You can use salted butter, but you may want to reduce the amount of salt in the recipe or omit it altogether.

Can I use this caramel sauce for other desserts?

Yes, this caramel sauce is versatile and can be used for drizzling over ice cream, dipping fruit, or as a topping for pancakes or waffles.

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure to use a medium saucepan, as the caramel will bubble up when the cream is added.
  • Keep a close eye on the sugar and water mixture as it boils, as it can quickly go from amber to burnt.
  • Let the caramel cool for a few minutes before drizzling it over your dessert to prevent it from melting too quickly.
