Ingredients
-
1 cup granulated sugar
-
1/4 cup water
-
1 cup heavy whipping cream
-
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Steps to Make It
-
Put the sugar and water in a heavy saucepan over low heat.
-
Cover and cook for about 5 minutes, or until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium-high and cook, stirring frequently, until the sugar turns a medium golden brown color, about 5 to 7 minutes.
-
Carefully and slowly add the cream and vanilla, using a long-handled wooden spoon to stir. Simmer until the caramel dissolves and blends into the cream, about 2 minutes.
-
The sauce will be smooth and slightly thickened. Serve warm or cool.

Tip
- Add a little more cream before serving if it's too thick.
