Yeild: 1 cup
Similar to its butterscotch cousin, this sauce is rich, gooey, and over-the-top. Its fabulous when added to a smoothie, but it also makes a delectable companion to other frozen desserts. One of my favorite smoothies made with this sinfully rich sauce is Berries and Caramel Mania (see Ultimate Indulgences).
_ 1/4 cups sugar
_ tablespoons cold water
___ teaspoon cream of tartar
___ cup heavy cream
_ tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature and cut into 8 pieces
3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Dash of coarse salt
Combine the sugar, water, and cream of tartar in a heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon to dissolve the sugar and brushing down the sugar on the sides of the pan to prevent it from crystallizing. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil. Continue boiling without stirring for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the mixture turns amber or pale golden in color, swirling the pan occasionally.
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Using a wire whisk with a long handle, gradually add the heavy cream (the mixture will boil rapidly) and stir until smooth. Add the butter and whisk until melted, then add the vanilla and salt; blend well. Allow the sauce to come to room temperature. When the Caramel Sauce is cool, transfer it to a covered container and refrigerate for up to 4 weeks.
