The Best Caramel Sauce Recipe (with Whiskey)
This is the very best caramel sauce recipe - and the secret ingredient is a touch of whiskey. I use this sauce in recipes, over ice cream, and on top of desserts.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup Whiskey
- 1 cup Brown Sugar
- ½ cup Butter
- ½ cup Heavy Cream
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Vanilla
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Then add the sugar and whisk until melted.
- Add the whiskey, salt, and vanilla. Let simmer steadily for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Add the cream and let the sauce slowly simmer and reduce for 20-25 minutes, until it has thickened. Stir every few minutes. You want the caramel to be thick enough to for a thick layer to stick on the back of a spoon.
- Pour the sauce into mason jars and store in the fridge for up to a week, or use it in a recipe.
