This foolproof salted maple caramel sauce is super easy and only has five ingredients! Makes a small batch but is easy to double.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup (56 grams) unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup (100 grams) brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) Grade B maple syrup
  • 1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon salt I used 1/4 teaspoon

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
    1/4 cup (56 grams) unsalted butter
  • Stir in the brown sugar until combined. It won't fully combine.
    1/2 cup (100 grams) brown sugar
  • Add the cream and mix until fully combined, and continue stirring until the mixture comes to a boil. Continue boiling and stirring until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 2-5 minutes.
    1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy cream
  • Turn off the heat, remove the pan from the burner, and add the maple syrup and salt (start off with 1/8 teaspoon and add more to taste).
    1/4 cup (60 ml) Grade B maple syrup, 1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Stir until completely incorporated and the salt has dissolved.
  • Use immediately or let cool completely before covering and refrigerating.
  • Refrigerate for up to 1 week. Before serving, stir to reincorporate the maple syrup and reheat in the microwave at half power for 10-15 seconds or until warm enough for your liking.
