In just 10 minutes, you can make your own caramel sauce in the Thermomix using butter, cream and brown sugar. Use it to drizzle over ice cream, desserts or serve as a dip with fresh fruit.
This caramel sauce isn’t made the traditional way of heating white sugar until it caramelises. Instead, all the ingredients go into the Thermomix bowl together and are gently heated until the sugar dissolves. It’s a much simpler method with the same delicious result.

Salted caramel sauce: Add ½ teaspoon of salt or more depending on taste.
