Notes
Tips
One of the keys to making this sauce so smooth is to warm all ingredients together slowly so that there isn’t a temperature gap (which encourages curdling).
Continually whisk the sauce as it heats up.
To thin this sauce into more of a salted caramel syrup, add more heavy whipping cream until it's the consistency you're after.
The recipe is easily doubled to make a bigger batch.
