An easy caramel sauce recipe including variations for cinnamon, coffee, and brandy caramel sauce. Serve over ice cream or your favorite dessert like bread pudding.
What’s better than chocolate sauce on ice cream? Caramel sauce! Below is an easy caramel sauce recipe and a few variations to tempt your taste buds. Try cinnamon caramel sauce, coffee caramel sauce, or brandy caramel sauce.
Serve with whipped cream on your favorite dessert like bread pudding or cheesecake or drizzle on an ice cream sundae.
Tip: Caramel dessert sauces and ice cream sundae toppings should be incredibly rich and silky smooth. You need to cook the sauce just long enough to bring it to a boil, but not too long or otherwise it will harden upon cooling.
Using a candy thermometer, bring it to a soft ball stage, which is between 235 degrees F and 240 degrees F. At this stage, if you took some of the syrup and dropped it into cold water, it would begin hardening and form a soft ball, thus the terminology.
