Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the maple syrup, unsalted butter, and light brown sugar over medium heat.
Stir the mixture continuously as the butter melts and the sugar dissolves, ensuring a smooth consistency.
Allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent scorching.
Reduce the heat to low and slowly stir in the heavy cream, mixing well to incorporate.
Continue to heat the sauce for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt for added depth of flavor.
Let the sauce cool slightly before serving. It will thicken as it cools.
Serve warm over ice cream or your favorite dessert, or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to one week. Reheat gently before serving.
