Brown Butter Salted Caramel to Drizzle Over Ice Cream
In France, brown butter is called beurre noisette, which literally translates to “hazelnut sauce.” It’s a common ingredient in savory food like pasta, roasted veggies, and fish. But sweet applications are plentiful, too: for example, it's what gives authentic financiers their next-level buttery taste. Since browning butter and adding salt to caramel are both French culinary innovations, it makes sense to put them together.
Bored with all the usual salted caramel recipes? Change it up by adding browned butter to the mix. It will give your sauce a deeper, more indulgent flavor with a butterscotch-like nuttiness. P.S. Make a big batch – you'll want it on everything!

This brown butter caramel sauce is the perfect match for creamy vanilla ice cream. You can also have it over pancakes or waffles in place of maple syrup for an extra indulgent breakfast. Add it to your coffee and flex your at-home barista skills – it'll surely be better than any café version. For storage, keep the sauce in an airtight jar or squeeze bottle. If handled properly, a batch should last for 2-4 weeks in the fridge. Plenty of time to enjoy every drop!
