Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Light brown sugar
- 150 ml Heavy cream
- 60 ml Rum (dark or spiced)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the unsalted butter and light brown sugar over medium heat. Stir continuously until the butter has completely melted and the sugar has dissolved, about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually pour in the heavy cream while stirring. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture comes to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and allow the sauce to simmer for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the rum, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until fully incorporated.
Let the sauce cool for 10 minutes before serving. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.
Serve warm over desserts such as ice cream, cakes, or pancakes, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Reheat gently before serving if needed.
