Variations
🌾 **Gluten-Free Version**: Good news! This caramel sauce is naturally gluten-free, so you don’t need to make any adjustments. Just ensure all your ingredients, especially the heavy cream and butter, are labeled gluten-free.
🌱 **Vegan Version**: Swap out the heavy cream for coconut cream and the unsalted butter for vegan butter. You'll still get a rich and creamy caramel sauce that's just as satisfying.
Faq
- Why did my caramel sauce crystallize?
This usually happens if sugar crystals form on the sides of the pan. Avoid stirring and ensure all sugar is dissolved before it starts boiling.
- How can I fix runny caramel sauce?
If your caramel sauce is too runny, try cooking it a bit longer to thicken it up. However, be careful not to overcook.
- Can I store caramel sauce, and how long will it last?
Yes, you can! Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Reheat gently before using.
- Can I use alternative sweeteners like agave or maple syrup?
Using alternative sweeteners might change the texture and flavor. It's best to stick to sugar for the perfect caramel consistency.
- Can I make a large batch and freeze it?
Absolutely! Caramel sauce freezes well. Just thaw it in the refrigerator and reheat gently before serving.
- Why is my caramel too thick?
Overcooking or high heat can make caramel too thick. Add a small amount of warm cream to thin it back to your desired consistency.
