Sea Salt Caramel Sauce
Ingredients
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 5 tablespoons butter, cut into slices
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream
  • 1 pinch sea salt to taste
Instructions
1
Begin by placing sugar into a robust, heat-conductive cooking vessel that is positioned over the middle to high heat setting, stirring constantly until the sugar starts to lose its crystalline structure and begins to dissolve. Maintain a steady pace, stirring continuously until the sugar has fully dissolved, darkened in color, and lost all its chunky texture, approximately taking 10 minutes.
2
At this point, bring the heat to a lower setting and cease stirring; continue cooking until the sugar develops a strong, pungent aroma and transforms into a deep amber hue, ranging from 3 to 8 minutes.
3
Once the cooking process is complete, remove the saucepan from the heat source and wait for 30 seconds before proceeding.
4
Next, introduce butter into the saucepan and whisk until it has fully incorporated and melted.
5
Slowly pour in 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon of heavy cream, exercising caution as the mixture can easily overflow.
6
Add a pinch of salt to the sauce and stir until it is fully incorporated.

Finally, transfer the sauce to a container, allow it to cool completely before refrigerating.
