Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup granulated Sugar
  • ¼ cup water
  • ½ cup whipping cream (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions
 

  • In a saucepan, combine the water and sugar. Heat the burner to medium-high. Be careful not to stir the mixture!
  • Stir the mixture in the pan if you notice sugar crystals forming, but don't stir the mixture. As the syrup begins to change color, it should become darker.
  • After the syrup turns a medium amber color, continue cooking it for a minute more, watching it closely until it turns dark brown.
  • Remove the syrup from the heat as soon as it turns dark brown and has tan bubbles and slowly stir in the whipping cream.
  • Bubbles will appear for a moment after the mixture is mixed. After the bubbles have stopped, whisk the mixture into a smooth, creamy consistency. 
  • Let the sauce cool to room temperature. Put it in an air-tight container after it has cooled. It can be kept in the refrigerator for up to a month. Enjoy!
