Ingredients

  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt or more to taste
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • In a medium-sized saucepot, add the heavy cream, sugar, butter, baking soda, and salt. Place over medium heat and stir together until melted and combined.
  • Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, be careful to watch it so it doesn’t boil over. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Continue to keep an eye on it the entire time as it has the tendency to rise in the pot.
  • DO NOT overcook it, it is ready at 8 minutes with a nice amber color, it may not seem very thick right now, but as it cools it thickens a lot. Take off the heat.
  • Stir in the vanilla. Let cool and serve over ice cream or however you want!
