Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 g Dark brown sugar
- 100 g Unsalted butter
- 250 ml Heavy cream (double cream)
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the dark brown sugar and unsalted butter over medium heat.
Stir the mixture gently as the butter melts and the sugar starts to dissolve, creating a thick syrupy consistency.
Once the butter and sugar are fully combined, gradually pour in the heavy cream while continuing to stir.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing it to bubble slightly while stirring continuously to prevent burning.
Simmer for about 3-4 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly and becomes glossy.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract for extra depth of flavor.
Allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving. It will thicken further as it cools.
Serve warm drizzled over sticky toffee pudding, ice cream, or your favorite dessert.
