Salted caramel is one of the flavour trends of the moment. It's everywhere from posh chocolate shops to supermarkets. This sauce is one of the quickest and easiest ways to get your salted caramel fix. You can make it with salted butter for a naturally salty tang or use unsalted butter and add a little sea salt to taste. Pour it over ice cream, serve with sticky pan-fried bananas, drizzle over chocolate cheesecake, spoon over apple crumble or drench marshmallows in it - whichever you choose be warned it's very addictive!
Ingredients
- 150ml double cream
- 100g light muscovado sugar
