Ingredients you need

- Heavy Whipping Cream: Heavy cream makes the sauce silky smooth and oh-so-creamy! If you have dairy sensitivity, try using a non-dairy heavy cream as the luscious base of this sauce.

Barista Tips
Keep the sauce just below boiling. When heavy cream boils, it can flocculate or separate, spoiling your beautiful sauce!
Products
- Saucepan: Choose a thick, heavy-bottomed saucepan for less chance of overheating or burning the sauce.
- Wooden Spoon: Caramel sticks less to wooden cookware.
- Preserving Jar: Choose a glass jar or airtight container to store the leftovers.
