Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons dark rum
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until fully liquefied.
Add the brown sugar to the melted butter and stir constantly with a wooden spoon until the sugar fully dissolves, about 2-3 minutes.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream while continuing to stir. Be cautious, as the mixture may bubble up slightly.
Stir in the dark rum, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well to combine all the ingredients evenly.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the sauce to cool for 3-5 minutes before serving.
Drizzle the warm rum sauce over your favorite desserts and enjoy!
