Caramel Kahlua Sauce

Instructions

1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water over medium heat. Stir gently until the sugar is completely dissolved.

2. Once the sugar has dissolved, increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil without stirring. Allow it to boil, swirling the pan occasionally, until the sugar caramelizes and turns a deep amber color. This should take about 7-9 minutes.

3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully whisk in the heavy cream. Be cautious as the mixture will bubble vigorously.

4. Add the unsalted butter, Kahlua liqueur, and salt to the caramel mixture, stirring until everything is well combined and the sauce is smooth and glossy.

5. Return the saucepan to low heat and cook the sauce for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly. This will help thicken the sauce and meld the flavors together.

6. Once the sauce has reached your desired consistency, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly before serving. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.

7. Drizzle the Caramel Kahlua Sauce over your favorite desserts, stir it into your coffee, or use it as a dip for fruits – the possibilities are endless!
