Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Once the butter has melted, add the brown sugar and stir until combined.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream, whisking constantly to ensure the mixture is smooth. Bring it to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the sauce simmer gently for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently. The mixture will thicken slightly and take on a deeper caramel color.
Stir in the salt and pure vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly.
Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and stir until completely melted and the sauce is smooth and glossy.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sauce cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm over your favorite desserts, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Reheat gently before serving.
