Ingredients

  • 200 grams Brown sugar
  • 300 ml Heavy cream
  • 100 grams Unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch Sea salt flakes
Metric - US Customary

Instructions

  • Add the brown sugar, cream and butter to a medium saucepan and heat over medium until the butter has melted and sugar has dissolved. Be sure to keep stirring the mixture, so it doesn't burn in the edges of the pan.
  • Once it bubbles and starts to boil, turn heat down and simmer for 5-8 minutes, until the mixture thickens slightly (it will thicken more as it cools).
  • Stir through the vanilla and salt flakes (if using).
  • Pour sauce over the squares of sticky date pudding, over ice cream or pancakes. Or place in a glass jar and refrigerate for later.
