Ingredients

3 cup Whole milk
3 cup Heavy cream
1 cup Packed dark brown sugar
1 tbsp Unsalted butter
1 tsp Pure vanilla extract
1 tsp Fine sea salt

Instructions

Add brown sugar, butter, and 2 tablespoons of the heavy cream to a small saucepan.

Heat over medium-low heat. Stir continuously until the butter melts and the brown sugar becomes glossy and dissolved, approximately 2-3 minutes.

Slowly whisk in the remaining heavy cream. Add whole milk.

Heat gently for another 2-3 minutes. Do not allow the mixture to boil vigorously.

Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla and sea salt. Taste once slightly cooled. Add only a tiny additional pinch of salt if a stronger salted-caramel profile is desired.

Cool and transfer to a clean jar. Refrigerate until chilled. Shake before using.

Chef's Notes & Storage

Yield: About 1 3/4 cups. Serving size: 2 tablespoons. This uses a brown-sugar caramel approach because it stays smoother and more reliable in a refrigerated creamer than a hard caramelized-sugar sauce. Storage: Refrigerate up to 7 days. Shake before using. Keep refrigerated. Discard if odor, texture, or appearance changes unexpectedly. Dairy-free variation: Substitute a neutral dairy-free butter and oat or coconut-based creamer for the dairy ingredients.
