Ecomely’s estimate, calculated from the ingredients with the ANSES Ciqual food composition table, excluding sides and seasoning added to taste.

Instructions

  1. Melt the sugar dry in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat, without stirring, until you get an amber caramel.
  2. Off the heat, slowly pour in the warm cream while whisking, watching out for splashes.
  3. Return to low heat for 2 minutes to smooth the sauce.
  4. Take off the heat and whisk in the butter in pieces, then the vanilla and salt.
  5. Let it cool slightly before serving, the sauce thickens as it cools.

Variations and tips

Salted caramel. Add more flaky sea salt at the end of cooking for a stronger flavour.

Using what you can find. Without full-fat cream, a mix of half liquid cream and half milk also works.
