Meanwhile, prepare the caramel sauce. In a large pan, melt the sugar over medium heat without stirring. Once the sugar turns golden and caramelizes, add the cream and butter. Be careful, as the mixture may splatter. Reduce the heat and stir the sauce until it becomes smooth. Be cautious as the sauce will be very hot. |
