Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 75 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Brown sugar (light or dark)
- 150 milliliters Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Add the unsalted butter and brown sugar to a medium-sized saucepan.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir occasionally until the butter is fully melted and combined with the sugar.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring constantly to prevent separation.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and reduce the heat to low. Allow the sauce to gently bubble for 5–7 minutes, stirring frequently.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
Let the toffee sauce cool slightly before serving. It will thicken as it cools.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Reheat gently before serving.
