Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup plain white sugar Works best for making the caramel.
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter Allows the miso to control the saltiness.
  • 1 cup heavy cream For a silky sauce texture.
  • 1 teaspoon white miso Start small and add more to taste.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Optional.

Method
 

Caramel Preparation
  1. In a medium saucepan, add sugar and heat over medium heat until it melts completely, stirring gently as needed.
  2. Once the sugar turns into a smooth amber liquid, add the butter and whisk until fully incorporated.
  3. Slowly pour in warm or room-temperature cream while whisking to combine. If it seizes, continue whisking on low heat until smooth.
  4. Remove from heat and whisk in the white miso. Start with 1 teaspoon, taste and add more if desired.
  5. If using, whisk in the vanilla extract.

Notes

Store the sauce in a clean jar in the fridge for 1 to 2 weeks. Reheat gently before serving. The sauce thickens as it cools, so don't evaluate the texture while hot.
