Sea Salt Vanilla Caramel Sauce Delight

Ingredients

- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 cup Whole Milk
- 1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Flaked Sea Salt

Instructions

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
Gather all ingredients and ensure they are measured accurately. This will streamline the cooking process.

2. Begin the Caramel Base:
In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, pour in 1 cup of granulated sugar. Stir constantly using a heat-resistant spatula as the sugar begins to melt. Pay close attention to avoid burning.

3. Watch for Color Change:
Continue stirring until the sugar is fully melted and turns a rich amber color. This process should take approximately PT10M (10 minutes). Be careful as caramel can burn quickly once it reaches its boiling point.

4. Add Cream and Milk:
Carefully add 1 cup of heavy cream and 1/2 cup of whole milk to the melted sugar. This will cause the mixture to bubble vigorously, so pour slowly and whisk continuously to integrate the ingredients smoothly.

5. Incorporate the Flavors:
Once the bubbling subsides, reduce the heat to a simmer. Add 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Stir well to blend the flavors. Allow the mixture to simmer for PT5M (5 minutes) to thicken.

6. Final Touches of Salt:
Turn off the heat and sprinkle in 1/2 teaspoon of flaked sea salt. Stir gently to distribute the salt evenly throughout the sauce, offering a delightful contrast of sweet and salty.

7. Cool and Serve:
Transfer the caramel sauce to a glass jar or heat-proof container and let it cool for PT15M (15 minutes) before serving. Use as a topping for desserts, fruits, or even a creative ingredient in baking.
