Ingredients
Recipe #1 Ingredients
- 8 oz. cream cheese
- ¼ cup sugar
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
Recipe #2 Ingredients
- 1 14- oz. can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- ¼ tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. white vinegar
- 2 tsp. cinnamon
Recipe #3 Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups white sugar
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 tsp. salt
- 2 cups heavy cream
- ½ cup butter at room temperature
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
Instructions
- Recipe#1 Caramel Sauce: In a saucepan, over medium heat, mix together the cream cheese, sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract until everything has melted. Stir regularly as the mixture melts, combine all the ingredients together well. You can serve this caramel sauce warm or chilled, this recipe does not harden when cooled like most other caramels. It has the amazing caramel flavor, but with a lovely soft texture. Serve immediately and enjoy!
- Recipe#2 Caramel Sauce: Start by combining the condensed milk and butterscotch chips in a medium saucepan, cook over medium heat for 3 minutes. Then add in the salt, white vinegar and cinnamon. Stir the mixture constantly until the ingredients have melted completely and heated all the way through. This caramel is best served warm, as it does harden when cooled. Serve immediately and enjoy!
- Note: This caramel sauce recipe has a very strong cinnamon flavor, which I really loved (and so did everyone else!). However, if you don't think you want it to taste quite so strong, start with half the given amount and taste test to see what you think. Be careful, it will be hot so make sure to bring the tasting sample to a cooler temperature before trying it.
- Recipe#3 Caramel Sauce: In a large heavy saucepan, combine the white sugar, corn syrup and salt. Bring this mixture to a boil and heat to234-240 degrees F (soft ball stage). At this point, stir in the butter and heavy cream carefully, the mixture will bubble up. Be sure to use a large pan because this bubbles up quite a bit. I used a 3 1/2 quart saucepan and it wasn't quite big enough. Continue to keep stirring and boiling the mixture until the temperature goes back up to about 240 degrees F. This takes about 10 minutes, if the temperature isn't going back up, just keep stirring and it will get there.
- Once it reaches 240 degrees F, immediately remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the mixture cool for a few minutes before serving. This dip is best served warm, serve alongside your choice of dipping food and enjoy!
