Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Smooth peanut butter
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the smooth peanut butter, heavy cream, brown sugar, and unsalted butter.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and the sugar has dissolved, about 3-5 minutes.
Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer gently for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly. Do not boil.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt until fully incorporated.
Let the sauce cool slightly before serving. It will thicken more as it cools.
Serve warm over your favorite dessert, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave before using.
