Salted Caramel Sauce Recipe

A salted caramel sauce recipe shouldn’t be difficult.  And yet, I’ve run into so many salted caramel sauce recipes over the years that complicate what should be effortlessly simple.

No worries.  I’ve got you covered!

This salted caramel sauce recipe has just four ingredients.  And I tell you sincerely that all you have to do is dump, stir, boil, and cool.  You are literally minutes away from the dreamiest, easiest caramel sauce you will ever find.

You can use this caramel sauce for all kinds of things.  Dip your fruit in it.  Scoop up a spoonful of it and eat it right off the spoon; it’s that good.  Or you can apply it to my preferred medium, which is ice cream.

My dad has been raving about the wonders of Mayfield® ice cream for years.  Once it became widely available around here, I had to try it for myself.

I picked up some Mayfield® Homemade Vanilla and Moose Tracks ice cream at my local Walmart.  It’s a new item that you can find in the frozen dessert aisle.

Mayfield® started making ice cream in 1923, and they use fresh cream from their own dairy (with no artificial growth hormones) to make their many flavors of ice cream.

If you love Mayfield® ice cream too, you’re going to want to join the Mayfield Flavor Family.  When you become a Mayfield Flavor Fan, you’ll be the first to hear about new flavors and special offers.

It’s a way to join the Mayfield® tradition of southern hospitality and to share the love of Mayfield® ice cream with your family and friends.

Tips for Making Salted Caramel Sauce

• As with any recipe with only a few ingredients, quality is crucial.  Fresh butter and fresh cream are essential.  When dairy products have been kicking around the refrigerator for too long or are approaching their expiration date, they may have picked up unwanted fridge flavors.
• You are adding your own salt, so use unsalted butter.
• In a pinch, light cream will work in lieu of heavy cream, but milk will not.
• Once the salted caramel sauce has cooled to room temperature, you can store it in the fridge.  It will firm up like soft candy, but will easily become pourable again with gentle reheating.
