Microwave Salted Caramel Sauce

Shaziya
This Microwave Salted Caramel Sauce is a dreamy, velvety treat that’s ready in just 7 minutes. You can whip it up with minimal effort—just 5 minutes of prep and 2 minutes in the microwave.
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 2 minutes
Total Time 7 minutes
Servings 1 1/2 cups

Ingredients
  

  • 4 tablespoons butter 2oz/60g
  • 1/2 cup cream 4oz/115g
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar 6oz/175g (dark sugar has more of a caramel flavor)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • In a large measuring jug, combine the brown sugar, butter and cream.
  • Microwave the mixture for 1 minute, stir then microwave another 30 seconds more. In total cook for 1.30-2 minutes. Just note it will bubble up as it cooks so keep an eye on it. Once it's golden caramel in color it will be done.
  • After you take it out of the microwave, add in the vanilla and salt and whisk it until it's nice and smooth and a uniform color. You want to do this immediately so it all comes together well.
  • At this point, you can taste it and decide if you want to add more salt or vanilla!
  • When you take it out of the fridge, you should heat it in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time and stir after every cycle. Keep that up until it's nice and fluid again. This caramel sauce should be good for a couple weeks refrigerated.
