Homemade salted caramel sauce

Homemade salted caramel sauce

I am not a big fan of too much sugary desserts.

I cannot say I didn’t love cake or ice-cream, I should be a liar, but I cannot eat thing too sugary.

An example? Caramel cake!

My boyfriend loves them so much… but I don’t!!

Or better I didn’t like them until I discovered the salted caramel sauce…

Love at first… taste!! 😀

I don’t know, maybe it was the salted butter, which I adore, or that little bit of salt which mitigate the sugary taste, the point is salted caramel sauce is become one of my best friend…

And now… I can make it by myself!! 😀

It’s easy to make, you only have to pay attention to not burn the caramel.

Drizzle it over ice-cream or muffins, put inside a crêpe or use as a dip for fruit… you can use it for whatever you like 😀

And what do you think about it as a Christmas present?

I think it would be great! 😉

*All of them are good, the important thing is that the cream must be 30% or more milk fat.

** I you cannot find salted butter, never mind, you can easily use unsalted butter and add a bit of salt to the mixture.
