- 1/4 cup water
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 3 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Salted Caramel Milkshake:
- 1 pint vanilla bean ice cream
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup salted caramel sauce
How To Make Caramel Sauce Recipe?
- Combine the ingredients: In a blender, combine the ice cream, milk, and salted caramel sauce.
- Blend until smooth: Blend the mixture until it reaches a creamy and smooth consistency.
- Serve immediately: Pour into a glass and enjoy your indulgent salted caramel milkshake!
Recipe Tips:
- Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan: This ensures even heat distribution, preventing the sugar from burning during caramelization.
- Avoid stirring while boiling the sugar: Stirring can cause sugar crystals to form. If crystals appear on the sides of the pan, use a wet pastry brush to dissolve them.
- Watch the color carefully: The sugar turns from clear to amber very quickly. Remove it from heat as soon as it reaches a deep amber color to avoid a burnt taste.
- Add cream slowly and carefully: The mixture will bubble up intensely when you add the cream. Pour it in gradually while whisking to prevent splattering.
- Cool completely before storing: Let the caramel cool to room temperature before transferring it to a jar. This prevents condensation and ensures the perfect texture.
How To Store Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: First, let the leftover salted caramel sauce cool to room temperature. Transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- Freeze: Allow the salted caramel sauce to cool completely, then pour it into a freezer-safe container, leaving some space for expansion. Freeze for up to 3 months.
