Ingredients
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
– 1 teaspoon large-flake salt
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1-Gather all ingredients and use a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan to ensure even heating.
2-Melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until it’s fully liquid, taking about 1-2 minutes; watch closely to avoid browning.
3-Add the dark brown sugar, large-flake salt, and heavy cream, stirring with a spatula until everything blends together smoothly.
4-Bring the mixture to a boil, scraping down the sides occasionally, and let it boil for 4 to 5 minutes to develop that perfect caramelized flavor.
5-Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract for a final touch of warmth and depth.
6-Transfer the sauce to a container and let it cool, where it will thicken naturally for easy storage and use.

🔥 The sauce thickens as it cools, so avoid over-boiling to keep it pourable.
🥃 For extra flavor, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of bourbon, whiskey, or cognac along with the vanilla.
🌑 Use dark brown sugar for richer molasses flavor and deeper color.
