Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 Tablespoons water
- 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
- Bring whipping cream to a simmer in a small, heavy saucepan. Set aside.
- Combine sugar and water in a heavy medium saucepan. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves.
- Increase heat to high and boil without stirring, until caramel is a medium amber color. If sugar crystals form, brush down the insides of the pan with a wet pastry brush. Watch closely, because it can go from good to burned quickly.
- Remove from heat and slowly add warm whipping cream. Mixture will bubble. Return to low heat and stir until smooth.
- Remove pan from heat again and whisk in butter.
- Store unused sauce in a refrigerator.
