Homemade Caramel Sauce

By srumbel

It’s hands down the best Caramel Sauce I have ever made. It’s rich, thick and creamy! Make it and put it on ice cream, drizzle it over apple slices…or pour it over a cheesecake or something, won’t you?

Preparation

Step 1

1. Find yourself a medium-sized sauce pan. Pour in 3/4 cup white sugar, 3/4 cup packed brown sugar, 1/2 cup corn syrup and 1/3 cup butter.
2. Turn the stove to medium heat. Stirring the ingredients together occasionally, allow the butter to melt and the sugars to dissolve. Keep stirring it now and then so it won't burn, and be sure to keep the heat on medium.
3. When the mixture comes to a full boil (it should take about 5 minutes to get there), then remove it from the heat and let it cool for 5 minutes.
4. Add 2/3 cup whipping cream. Whisk it in, until all ingredients are well combined.
5. The caramel will be pretty thin but will thicken up as it cools. I actually prefer it at room temperature...I like my sauce nice and thick. :) It's fabulous on ice cream or as a dip for apples. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to a week.
