Gluten-free Caramel Sauce
Tell Google you trust My GF Kitchen! Add to your preferred sources!
Thick, buttery gluten-free caramel sauce that is delicious over ice cream, popcorn, brownies or cheesecake. You can drizzle this caramel topping on pretty much anything!
Ingredients
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ¾ cup Karo light corn syrup
- 1 cup evaporated milk, note: this is not a full can
- 1 pint heavy whipping cream, 2 cups
- 1 cup unsalted butter, 2 sticks or 16 tablespoons
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large pot (tall enough for your candy thermometer to clip on to), combine the sugar, brown sugar, light corn syrup, evaporated milk, heavy cream, unsalted butter and sea salt. (So everything except the vanilla extract!)
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a rubber spatula. Be sure you are constantly scraping the sides, edges, and bottom of the pan and do not leave unattended for more than a couple of seconds.
- Continue cooking and stirring, monitoring the temperature with a candy thermometer until temperature reaches 224°. This took about 24 minutes for me, but will vary depending on your stove, pot size, and altitude.
- Immediately remove from heat and set hot pot on a cooling rack or trivet.
- Stir in pure vanilla extract.
- Let cool before serving. Store leftovers in jar at room temperature or refrigerator. You can microwave the sauce for 20-30 seconds to warm and thin the sauce for drizzling again.
Notes
I do not recommend trying to cut back the sugar, nor do I recommend substituting with dairy-free alternatives This is definitely a buttery, sugary treat.
