If caramel nut sauce sounds dreamy to you, give yourself a pinch. Still awake? Yeah, it's real. With pecans, vanilla, and cream, this warm sauce is perfect served on ice cream

serves/makes:

ready in:
under 30 minutes

ingredients

1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
2 tablespoons butter
1/8 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup toasted and chopped pecans
1/4 cup whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

directions

Combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, butter, and salt in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the butter is melted.

Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the pecans, whipping cream, and vanilla extract. Stir until the cream is incorporated into the sauce.

Pour the warm sauce over ice cream or other desserts. To reheat, place over low heat in a saucepan and stir until heated through. Store in the refrigerator in a covered container for 2-3 days.
