Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise, seeds scraped out (or 2 teaspoons vanilla extract)
Instructions
- Combine the heavy cream, corn syrup, butter and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, whisking; remove from the heat.
- Sprinkle the sugar evenly in a large skillet. Cook over medium heat, undisturbed, until the sugar melts and starts caramelizing, about 5 minutes. Continue cooking, swirling the pan (but not stirring) until the caramel is dark amber, 10 to 15 more minutes.
- Remove from the heat and add the warm cream mixture. Return to medium heat and bring to a simmer; cook, whisking, until smooth, about 7 minutes. Stir in the vanilla. Let cool slightly before serving. To store, let cool completely, then cover and refrigerate up to 2 weeks; reheat before serving.

Reviews
Came out great. Loved the consistency and flavor. I used less sugar than the recipe called for (usually do) and this recipe made my dessert. I used it to top an ice cream cake with brownie crust I made and it was a home run.
