. I am in urgent need of a recipe for caramel sauce used as a dessert toppings in say ice creams etc?

Answer 1

OK

Brown 1.5 cups of sugar in a sauce pan. Brown it first over high heat, but reduce the heat to medium low as the sugar browns, being careful not to burn the sugar to dark. after all the sugar is brown, the heat should be low. add a 1/2 of water and turn the heat up until all the glassy caramel is dissolved. KEEP STIRRING. When the liquid turns back into a THICK syrup that easily coats a spoon, dust lightly with cinnamon, mix a tsp of vanilla extract, a quarter stick of butter and 1/2 cup of cream (actually canned evaporated milk is BEST!!!). STIR until it is the consistency you desire. Let cool and serve.

Answer 2

There are various ways to prepare caramel sauce depending on the use, color and consistency desired. The simplest of recipe for caramel sauce would need equal amount of sugar and water. Some brown sugar and egg yolks (or heavy cream). Mix well and boil it down to desired consistency.

Answer 3

easiest way I know is to purchase a can of condensed milk, put into a pot of boiling water then simmer for 1 hour - topping up the water when necessary - this is a must because I have a friend who was doing this and forgot about it, she ended up with caramel sauce all over the kitchen, and I mean ceilings, walls, floors etc when the can burst.

Answer 4

Buy cheapest caramel candies and melt them on low heat in microwave with some milk/butter or even oil or on stove top, burn the extra liquid to get the thickness you like if milk next time use slightly less milk. (oil and butter can be added as needed, start with less and add as you need it, water can be a good sub for milk but loose some taste milk is preferred, next butter as taste goes).

PS:
Add chopped nuts, Cinnamon cardamon .... whatever you like for extra touches
