Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 150 ml heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 250 ml whole milk
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 pinch salt
- 0.5 teaspoon butter-flavored extract (optional, for nutty flavor)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat and add the sugar. Cook while stirring frequently until the sugar completely melts and turns a rich amber color (approximately 5 minutes).
Carefully add the heavy cream to the sugar mixture, stirring continuously. The caramel will bubble vigorously, so caution is necessary. Continue stirring until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Reduce heat to low, and add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to the caramel. Stir to combine, then remove the caramel mixture from the heat and set it aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and milk until fully combined and no lumps remain.
Return the saucepan with the caramel mixture to medium heat and slowly pour in the milk-cornstarch mixture while continuously stirring.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to simmer. Stir occasionally until thickened to a glaze consistency, which should take about 10 minutes.
If using, add the butter-flavored extract to achieve a slight nutty aroma. This is optional and depends on your taste preference.
Once thickened, remove from heat and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm over your favorite desserts such as ice cream, pound cake, or as a dipping sauce for fruits.
