Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 1.5 cups strong brewed coffee
- 1 cup milk of choice
- 0.5 cup whipped cream
- 2 tablespoons caramel sauce (for topping)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar and water. Stir gently to combine, then leave it undisturbed.
Allow the sugar to dissolve and begin to caramelize. Swirl the pan occasionally but do not stir. Cook until the sugar turns a deep amber color (about 5-7 minutes).
Carefully whisk in the unsalted butter until fully melted and combined.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream while whisking continuously. Be cautious as the mixture may bubble vigorously.
Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Remove the caramel sauce from the heat and set it aside to cool slightly.
Brew 1.5 cups of strong coffee using your preferred method.
In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until warm and frothy. Do not boil.
Divide the brewed coffee between two large mugs, filling each mug about three-quarters full.
Stir 3-4 tablespoons of the homemade caramel sauce into each mug of coffee, adjusting to taste.
Top each mug with frothed milk, a dollop of whipped cream, and a drizzle of caramel sauce for extra indulgence.
Serve immediately and enjoy your 'Coffee in My Caramel'!
