Ingredients

• 1 cup butter
• 2 cups dark brown sugar, tightly packed
• 1 cup golden syrup
• 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
• 4 teaspoons heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons vanilla essence
• 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)

Instructions

1. Melt the Butter
   • In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, melt the butter over medium heat, ensuring it doesn’t brown.
2. Combine Ingredients
   • Stir in the dark brown sugar and golden syrup, mixing until well combined. Continue stirring until the sugar dissolves completely, forming a smooth mixture.
3. Add Sweetened Condensed Milk
   • Gradually pour in the sweetened condensed milk while stirring constantly. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
4. Simmer
   • Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens slightly. Be careful not to let it burn.
5. Incorporate Cream and Flavorings
   • Remove the pot from the heat, then whisk in the heavy cream, vanilla essence, and salt. Adjust the salt to your taste.
6. Cool
   • Let the caramel sauce cool slightly before serving. It will thicken as it cools. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
