Brown Butter Salted Caramel Sauce
Are you guys addicted to brown butter yet? It is so easy and so delicious with a nutty, toasted quality. It is the brown butter in this recipe that cuts the sweetness and makes the flavours complex and rich like a really good caramel.
Prep Time 5 minutes

Ingredients
- 1/4 cup salted butter
- 1/4 cup sugar or sweetener I use half erythritol and half xylitol
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp molasses optional
Instructions
-
Melt the butter in small saucepan over medium heat. Let it simmer for 5 minutes or so until it foams around the sides and you can see brown bits on the bottom of the pan.
-
Add sweeteners, heavy cream and molasses (if using).
-
Stir everything together until dissolved and then turn the heat down to very low (it's level 2 on my stove).
-
Let the mixture simmer gently for 15 minutes until it thickens to a good consistency.
-
Store in the fridge. (Note that it will harden in the fridge so you will need to warm it gently to use it. I just put it back in the saucepan and warm it over very low heat again until it loosens up.)
Recipe Notes
If you are using unsalted butter, you can add 1/2 tsp salt to get the salted caramel flavour.
