Scale
- 1 1/3 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
- 2/3 cup lightly salted butter, cut into pieces
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Measure out all the ingredients before starting. Cut the butter into smaller pieces to help it melt evenly.
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, dark brown sugar, and butter.
- Heat Mixture: Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir the mixture constantly until the butter is completely melted and the sugar is dissolved. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Simmer the Sauce: Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low to maintain a gentle simmer. Continue to simmer the sauce, stirring occasionally, for about 10-15 minutes. The sauce should thicken and become a rich golden brown color.
- Check Consistency: To check the consistency, dip a spoon into the sauce and let it cool for a few seconds. The sauce should coat the back of the spoon and not run off too quickly.
- Cool the Sauce: Once the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, remove the saucepan from the heat. Let the sauce cool slightly before serving. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
- Serve: Serve the toffee sauce warm over ice cream, pancakes, waffles, or any dessert of your choice. You can also let it cool completely and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Reheat gently before serving.
