heavy cream

🥗Healthier: coconut cream

💰Cheaper: milk

Coconut cream adds richness while being dairy-free.

unsalted butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil provides a similar texture and flavor.

Start with a cold skillet and add granulated sugar and light corn syrup in a 2:1 ratio.

Turn the heat to medium and wait for bubbles to form before reducing to low heat.

Add 1 teaspoon of Jacobson kosher sea salt to the mixture.

Use a whisk to stir the mixture to prevent crystallization as it caramelizes.

Monitor the caramel color closely, aiming for a slightly darker color than desired, as it will lighten when cream is added.

Once the desired color is reached, remove the skillet from heat immediately to prevent overcooking.

Add heavy cream to the caramel off the heat to avoid a violent reaction and whisk until smooth, checking for sticky spots.

Add a splash of vanilla extract to the mixture for flavor.

Finish by adding 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and whisk until melted and fully incorporated.
