Ingredients

For the Caramel Sauce

  • 250 ml Double Cream
  • 50 g Unsalted Butter
  • 350 g White Granulated Sugar
  • 100 ml Cold Water

Instructions

To Make the Caramel Sauce

  • Measure out the cream in a jug and leave to one side.
  • Measure out the butter and cut into small cubes. Leave to one side.
  • Add the sugar and water to a large saucepan and pop onto a low/medium heat.
  • Stir continuously until the sugar has completely dissolved (the mixture will be cloudy)
  • Once the sugar has dissolved stop stirring and leave the mixture to come to the boil.
  • Once the mixture is boiling, leave until it turns a lovely amber colour, and then remove from the heat. This can take up to 10 minutes.
  • Whisk the caramel and add in the double cream. This will bubble and spit so please be careful. Keep whisking as quickly as you can until the bubbling has stopped.
  • Add in the butter and whisk again until it is completely melted.
  • Careful pour the mixture into a clean jar, pop the lid on and place it into the fridge until it is completely cool.
