A classic dessert sauce made by melting granulated sugar and combining it with cream and butter. Drizzle it over ice cream and cakes. This delicate but rewarding recipe needs patience as the sugar cooks to a golden color.
Melt the granulated sugar in a wide pot over medium heat, without stirring; gently swirl the pot until the sugar becomes a golden-brown liquid.
Remove the pot from the heat, quickly add the butter cubes, and whisk. The mixture will foam, then settle within a few seconds.
Gradually whisk in the warmed cream until smooth. Add a pinch of salt if you like.
Let the sauce cool until warm, then drizzle it over ice cream or cakes. Store any leftover sauce in the refrigerator.
Allergen: Contains dairy. Important: As the sugar melts, do not stir it; gently swirl the pot instead. Stirring can cause the sugar to clump and crystallize. Caution: Melted sugar is extremely hot and may splatter when you add the cream, so take care.
