Caramel sauce is a versatile and delicious addition to many desserts. Whether drizzled over ice cream, cakes, or used as a dip for fruits, it adds a rich and creamy sweetness that's hard to resist. This recipe combines both granulated sugar and brown sugar, providing depth of flavor, along with light sour cream, which gives it a smooth and creamy texture.
- Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to ensure even heating and prevent the sugar from burning.
- Stir the sugar and water mixture gently to avoid splashing onto the sides of the pan, which can cause crystallization.
- Have all ingredients measured and ready before you start, as the caramel process can move quickly.
- Once the sugar melts and turns amber, remove from heat immediately to avoid burning.
- Be cautious when adding sour cream, as the mixture will bubble vigorously.
Making caramel sauce at home is not only gratifying but also allows you to enjoy a fresh, preservative-free treat. With a few key tips and a bit of attention to detail, you can craft a caramel sauce that's perfect for elevating any dessert. Enjoy the process and savor the delicious results.
