Temperature control is key to guarantee a beautifully smooth caramel, be sure to use room-temperature ingredients when adding them to the hot caramel to prevent any seizing. Add the cream very, very slowly into the bowl to avoid any splashing, bubbling up will be expected. This ultimate caramel dessert sauce can be served warm over hot sponge puddings or apple pie. You can also serve it chilled over ice cream or add a few tablespoons to buttercream to make caramel buttercream for cakes. To make it into a salted caramel sauce, simply add sea salt flakes to taste; a few pinches should do! It can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for one month.
